2021 Rare Imprint Pinot Noir

"There is a reserved Burgundian personality to this wine with a sense of place. It has a vibrant, fresh entry of creme de cassis and dried rose petals that caress the palate before it introduces elements of stony minerality, forest floor and thyme. The complex and savory core has plenty of energy that evolves over time, so enjoy the journey. The tannins are finely grained leading to a long and lively finish. The wine begs you to return for another sip." W. Peter Hoyne, Chicago Wine Press

"I enjoyed this combination of crisp acidity and restrained alcohol. This is a wine so refreshing, it will be difficult to resist pouring a second glass. Its Himalayan blackberry perfume is flecked with bits of fresh hay and citrus. Bright and tangy cranberry and orange zest flavors dovetail with a black tea note. These flavors jitterbug on the palate." Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Rare Imprint is coy in the glass, wafting up a delicate blend of dusty rose and cedar shavings. Ripe strawberry and raspberry fruits flow across the palate, guided by juicy acidity, with soft and supple textures. The 2021 leaves the palate nicely refreshed as a subtle coating of fine tannins slowly fades." Eric Guido, Vinous Media, 90 Points

"Red, blue and purple bramble fruit meet vanilla, cinnamon and dusty minerality. Strong acidity and sour cherry evolve into dark-fruited richness, vanilla syrup and subtle bitter dark chocolate notes." Oregon Wine Press Cellar Selects November 2023
