The 2019 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is nervy, taut and full of energy. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit and chalky accents convey vibrancy in this mid-weight, focused Pinot. Winemaker Andy Smit blends a number of top Russian River sites for his Wester Reach Pinot. In 2019, the blend is 26% DuMOL Estate, 22% Flax Estate, 20% Dutton-Widdoes, 16% Dutton-Upper Road and 16% Occidental Road. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

soils heavier on clay. complex nose, there’s a floral or herbal note that I can’t put my finger on to id. it makes sense with the wine, very pretty. dried berries- currant. palate is silky, I think a little bit tight. will open up. beautifully balanced.
