Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard is a pure joy, as mint and sage nuances combine with cedar and wild strawberry hints. Silky smooth yet finessed, this is built on purity, with tart red berry fruit depths and saturating tactile minerals. Zesty acidity enlivens the senses as the 2021 finishes long and staining, leaving notes of steeped plum and slowly fading black-tea-like tannins. While structured and youthful, the 2021 is beautifully balanced for an extended maturation. (EG)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is remarkably pretty, wafting up with a bright blend of wild strawberries and minty herbs. Plush and round with a core of stimulating acidity and saline minerals, adding tension as tart wild berries resonate throughout. This finishes fresh, nearly crunchy, with medium length, leaving a gentle tug of fine tannin. The 2021 aims to please.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills offers quality that sits well above its modest price tag with its pairing of concentrated flavors and a weightless frame. Medium ruby, it features cranberry sauce, pomegranate and rhubarb fruit with accents of tea leaves, lavender, bitter orange and amaro. The light-bodied palate is silky and seamless with an incredible core of flavor and a very long, bitters-laced finish. I would be excited to drink this wine any night of the week!
