Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2024

The 2021 Pinot Noir Avni, fermented with 20% whole clusters, is bursting with layered scents of cranberries, strawberries, tangerine peel, mushrooms and tobacco. The medium-bodied palate is soft and vibrant with generous, spicy flavors and a long, flavorful finish.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Eric Guido, Vinous, Jan 2024

The 2021 Pinot Noir AVNI is distinctly savory and earthy, blending flowery underbrush and dusty sage with dried black cherries and a lifting hint of mint. This is racy and sleek, with vividly ripe red and blue fruits energized by vibrant acidity. Tactile mineral tones and rosy inner florals emerge as the 2021 finishes incredibly long with youthful tension, and a tart wild berry tinge lingers on and on. 20% whole clusters and 25% new French oak.

A ripe ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Avni has a pure and pristine character, with aromas of red cherry lozenge, fresh wild herbs, and red floral perfume. Medium-bodied and charming, with an elegant structure and gorgeous fresh fruit, it’s delicious out of the gate. Offering ripe tannins and a graceful feel, it’s all about purity and freshness with this wine. A terrific value, it could be a great lens into the style of this estate and is a textbook example of the wines of the Willamette Valley. Drink 2023-2030.
