The reds should be held to high expectations. The whites are the surprise, since a very warm vintage often blunts the acid, raises alcohol to unbalance the wine, and softens the fruit to soft and fleshy. Not so in 2006. The Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc are crisp, bright, and scintillating in fruit aromas and complex in spice and fruit flavors. The warmth that came during the growing season abated before most fruit seriously began ripening, with cooler days and, especially important, acid-saving nights giving finesse to the wines.

With rain in the range of 2005 and much less than the last really rainy harvest season of 1997, most winemakers in the valley knew how to adapt and took advantage of the vintage’s attributes, such as lower sugars (and therefore alcohols) and higher acids. As long as botrytis is kept from reds or sorted out, and winemaking sleight of hand provides physical therapy for the intensity shortcomings, such as saignée, tannin adds, chaptalization, and acidulation, the vintage will have stellar wines, just with more variability.

Fruitfulness caused some problems early on, with large berries and full clusters pushing off berries in the cluster, allowing early-harvested blocks to develop botrytis and require sorting.

They started as one very early harvest thanks to a very consistent, warm growing season, the warmest on record up to final ripening mid-September. An unanticipated 30-year rain event of 5″ then appeared the last days of September, made of remnants from a typhoon that had hit Japan days before, ushering in a spate of cool weather, interrupting the season, slowing ripening and turning it into two discrete picks, with early Pinot noir ferments already in barrel before remaining grapes were ripe and picked! Although grapes ripe during the rain were vulnerable to botrytis, earlier and later picks showed very good quality, with many considering the coolness and longer hang-time a big benefit, preserving acidity and flavors, while minimizing alcohol. Color, texture, balance and acidity on the whole were good for the vintage. Croploads were moderate to high, except for blocks and varieties lost to the rain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScores\/Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e92 pts Wine Spectator - Taut, focused and vibrant, with cherry, blackberry, sassafras and black tea flavors in deft distribution as the finish comes together harmoniously and lingers.

Despite a growing season with searing heat spikes (116F), 2021 was a moderate vintage, beginning harvest the third earliest time in the last two decades, and ending in less than a month, October 5th. It was a “wait-until-they're ripe” vintage with a welcome splash of rain midway in September, after grapes were largely picked - just to prove we're Oregonians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on full-ripeness AND generally very good acidity, 2021 may ultimately resemble 2018 in concentration, and 2008 in crop yield.

Take an amazing vintage like 2021, and then hand-select the best, most complex, age-worthy barrels, age them for an extra 6 months in oak, and bottle it up with love and care. Visually, this Pinot is deep garnet in color, clear and crystalline clear, with a hue of purple around the edge. The nose and palate harmonize with three-dimensional structure, black cherry, hibiscus, tobacco, strawberry compote, Earl Grey Tea, and dark chocolate. The palate has so many layers that continue to build, evolve, and open up with time in the glass, showing the true potential of this wine’s age-ability; very much a restrained flower waiting to open. The essence of this Pinot, dense on the core, vivid in texture and freshness, but soothing like warm wood, begs for wool sweaters and fireside chats – a true gem of the vintage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScores\/Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e17+JR - Full bottle 1,271 g.

(SCJ)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e94 - VN - The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve Vineyards blossoms in the glass with an alluring blend of peppery herbs and florals, giving way to dried strawberries and hints of ground hints. Round, plush textures soothe as a tension-building blend of tart wild berries and minerals saturate the palate, balanced by brisk acidity. The 2021 tapers off long and staining, youthfully structured with edgy tannins, yet harmonious and built for the cellar. - By Eric Guido on January 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e93 WS -  Sleek and steely, with fresh cherry and raspberry flavors that are anchored by notes of stony mineral and black tea, building tension toward medium-grained tannins.

Full-bodied without being heavy, it continues with its darker fruit but turns more savory, with notes of tea leaf and turned earth, a gravelly texture, and good length on the finish.
