96pts James Suckling

Fascinating aromas to this with dark fruits and flint with iron shavings. Ink. Bark and mushroom. Full-bodied with juicy supple tannins. Deep and serious. Dark at the end. Thoughtful complexity.

Winemaker's Notes

We recently took our commitment to sustainability a step further and began farming our most important vineyard, Meredith Estate, organically. We have intensified the focus of our farming on the health of all of our vines and our soil. The 2021 Meredith Estate features floral essences of peony, plumeria and rose. The nose of this deeply layered wine offers hints of toasted nuts, Bing cherry, tangerine and cedar. Seductive and silky tannins mark the entry, with black cherry, dark chocolate and fresh earth leading to a long, elegant finish.

Our Meredith Estate Pinot Noir’s structure and balance make it an excellent food wine, with layers that unfold in the glass with each sip. Paired with this wine, a seemingly simple recipe for Wild Mushroom Paté becomes an enchanting experience, its earthy richness completely in tune with the elegant texture, fine acidity and spice notes in Meredith.
