96pts - Owen Bargreen
This is now the second edition of this wine which is a
barrel selection made by famed winemaker Chris Figgins. It is a dense,
hedonistic and intense Oregon Pinot Noir bottling that is a notch better than
last year’s edition. Once on the nose this takes on heady boysenberry notes
alongside cloves, freshly tilled salty soils and suggestions of Hoisin sauce.
The palate is rich and voluptuous with serious texture and good underlying
tension. This seamless bottling is drinking marvelously right now and will surely
live on for at least another fifteen years. Drink 2024-2042
