Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Paige's Ridge is one of the most potent, overt wines in the range. Interestingly, this is the first pick off the property. Dark plum, lavender, spice and menthol infuse the 2021 with notable depth and concentration. This resonant, expansive Pinot Noir has a ton to offer. As always, the Paige's Ridge is the one wine in this range that is fermented in oak, which works here but also marks the wine to a considerable degree.

From the Dijon 667 clone, grown in shallower soil, in the 2021 Pinot Noir Paige's Ridge is forward with more plush fruit of ripe mixed berries, a notes of forest herbs, and a soft, floral perfume. Full-bodied and generous with fruit that expands on the palate, it has ripe tannins with a plush feel and more black fruit, flowers, and turned soil. This offers more immediacy but has the potential for significant longevity as well. Drink 2023-2037.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Paige’s Ridge has an alluring perfume of strawberry and raspberry jam, hibiscus, moss and potpourri, continuing to release detailed, spicy accents with each return to the glass. It's light-bodied yet generously flavored, with a chalky, seamless structure and a long, latent finish. It has youthful, glossy oak spices and blossoms dramatically with time in the glass. It will benefit from a few years in the bottle.
