The 2021 Pinot Noir X Novo Vineyard blossoms in the glass with seductive sweet florals and autumnal spices complementing vivid black cherry. Its silken textures and brisk acidity impress further, casting polished wild berries across the palate as rosy inner florals form toward the close. It tapers off pure and crisp as stimulating mineral tones add a tactile feel and dusty tannins fade. The X Novo is simply stunning and should enjoy a long, broad drinking window.

We had the 2019 Vintage on 7/13-14/24. The tastes have black cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and all spice. Fruit forward, New World. There are too many better wines from Oregon

Lighter body. Nice nose, dry. Raspberries and minerals. Nice acidity. Lovely Pinot Noir!
