Flavor Notes
92 Points | James Suckling - Amarena-cherry, damson-plum and summer-flower aromas, plus a hint of vanilla, pour from the glass of this juicy pinot noir. Medium-bodied and supple on the front palate, then the ample tannins come through at the bold finish, where a gentle sweetness is wrapped around them. Nice freshness right through the wine. From Musk Vineyard, an east-facing site with volcanic basalt and tuff soil. Drink or hold.
Fresh and rich with expressive notes of red fruits, raspberry bramble, and pomegranate syrup.

Winemaking Notes
Rain events at the beginning of bloom diminished yields, and a dry summer was punctuated with unprecedented heat waves. The timing worked in our favor since the heat happened pre-veraison, and the vines handled it well.
Harvest started in early September, but lower temperatures across the state allowed for a long and measured harvest season, with harvest extending into mid-October.
No disease, high sugars, balanced acids, and great flavors. 2021 will undoubtedly rank as one of the top Oregon vintages.
