Jessie James Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

9.5

Gorgeous and best JJ ever. Nose is full of mid season cherries, spice, gentle wood shavings from woodshop when one was a kid. Really aromatic and alluring. Really huge spice. So so aromatic and casts a spell on you. Palate is so juicy and full of life. Sweet and sour cherry fruit and big time acids and wonderful structure and purity. This needs mega mega air. The sweetness on the finish and mid is to just die for and then gets tamed by the incredible acidity and mineral spine. — 9 days ago

Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Very elegant. 13.4%. Made with care. Definitely a lot of ambition there. This is a little bit too fruit driven for me. More Oregon than Burgh. Might be the vintage. Perhaps this needs more age. Subdued cherry, hint strawberry, …touch muscat. — 5 days ago

Very nice chambourcin. Rose petals and spiced nose. Moderate body, slightly sweet with cherries, raspberries, strawberries and spice. Soft finish. Drinkable on opening and day 2. — 16 days ago

9.4

Gorgeous. Nose is crystalline. Sweet cantaloupe, gorgeous minerality and its all presented in a narrow tunnel that is so focused. Some herbs as well. So clear and clean. Palate is equally as crystalline with stunning focus, precision and minerality. Just so taut and luscious with unreal juiciness. This is young and will continue to unwind. 9.4 for now but I will be back. — 8 months ago

Willamette Valley Gamay Noir 2019

Oh that nose! Roses and roots and fruits
Crunchy texture, light but at the same time a lot of body. Perfect acidity. Delicious finish
This has to be one of the best Gamays produced on this side of the Atlantic.
