Score 90/100 · Drink 2020-2024, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Apr 2020

Pale ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Memorialis has light scents of red berries, earth, woodsmoke and potpourri. The palate is light to medium-bodied with bright, spice-laced fruits, a gentle graininess and long, juicy finish. 125 cases produced.

Score 93-95/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Apr 2018

Raspberry, dried flowers, sappy herbs, and hints of strawberries all emerge from the 2017 Pinot Noir Memorialis, which is fresh and lively on the palate, with a tight, tactile, grippy sensation. With beautiful purity, integrated acidity and a great finish, it has a touch of Chambolle-Musigny character and will keep for a decade or more. While falling outside the purview of this report, I’m always able to taste these Oregon releases from winemaker Todd Alexander at my tasting at Force Majeure. These are rich, yet classic Oregon Pinot Noirs that have singular characters. I’m thrilled to be able to include the wines here.
