2021 Quartz Acorn Vineyard Pinot Noir
Gorgeous and complex, with notes of plum, brioche, tar, and rich blackberry. A savory herbal profile offers sage, spearmint, fennel, and anise as it opens. On the palate, a concentrated depth of flavor and bold tannin structure speak to the site’s rocky terrain. This wine will age gracefully for 10-15 years. Made with organically-farmed Pinot Noir from our Yamhill-Carlton, Quartz Acorn Estate Vineyard.

Wine Spectator
Impeccably structured and detailed, with blackberry and cherry flavors highlighted by dried sage, crushed stone and dusky spices as this builds tension and tannins toward the firm finish.
James Suckling
Lots of quartz and salt with blue fruits and white pepper on the nose. Iodine. Full body, with polished yet firm and chewy tannins.
