| Description: | 96 Points | D âA delightful blend committed to some of the Willamette Valley's oldest, own-rooted sites, including Nysa, Hyland Estate and the Nicolas Jay estate Bishop Creek site. It's a gorgeous Pinot Noir, with an effusive nose of candied red fruits and sweet, smoky rose petals. There is ample forest floor as freshly turned earth melds with sweet bright cherries, a squeeze of blood orange and loads of dried wild herbs which deliver a savoury finish. There's a silken texture that I often find in the own-rooted vine Pinot Noir from the Willamette. It's a lovely wine.â - Decanter 95 Points | Jd âA youthful red/ruby hue in the glass, the 2022 Pinot Noir Own-Rooted is very pretty and floral on the nose, with notes of wild black raspberries, fresh flowers, a hint of porcini powder, and sweet forest earth. Harmonious and medium-bodied, it fills the palate with a juicy feel upfront and is approachable now, with ripe, sweet tannins, fresh accents of bright acidity, and an even, balanced finish. It's well-detailed and rounded and is going to show its best over the next 10-15 years.â - Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points + Cellar Selection | We âMaking a wine exclusively from fruit grown on own-rooted vines is getting harder and harder, but I'm glad this one exists. Its boysenberry and chalkboard dust aromas make for a pretty introduction, followed by flavors of red cherries, orange zest and a touch of cedarwood. Bright acidity intersects with a rough, muscular tannins, suggesting enjoyment from 2025-2038.â - Wine Enthusiast |
