90pts Vinous

The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve opens with a florist shop bouquet of dusty violets and roses, lavender, incense and dried black cherries. Balsamic-laced blackberries mingle with a hint of sour citrus over a silken textural wave. Tension builds on the finish, leaving citrus-tinged blackberry that puckers the cheeks and is framed by edgy tannins..

Winemaker Notes

This Pinot Noir exemplifies Oregon’s classic elegance, featuring flinty reduction and earthy minerality alongside brambly blackberry and raspberry, accented by tart cranberry freshness. Subtle oak contributes hints of spice, tobacco, and incense, adding depth without overpowering, while even tannins and bright acidity create a seamless balance that is both approachable and refined.
