Critic Score
The 2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton opens with a delicately spicy mix of dusty florals and mentholated black cherries. Silky to the core, it flows across the palate with zesty red berries and sweet herbs accelerated by brisk acidity. The 2021 tapers off pleasantly grippy and firm with lingering boysenberry and a tactile mineral crunch.

Pinot Noir

The Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir was crafted from fruit grown on our Gran Moraine Vineyard, which was planted in 2005 and is one of the more westerly vineyards in the Yamhill-Carlton. 

Aromas of blue Raspberry candy, soy sauce, lilac, wet soil, tamarind, Earl-grey tea, blood orange. It has tangerine, pomegranate, sassafras, saffron, pipe tobacco, spruce tips, Himalayan blackberry flavours. While the texture has lively acidity up front with energetic and youthful tannin structure. The mid palate transitions seamlessly into a long and dark fruit driven finish. Acidity pulls forward off the finish creating a perfect paring opportunity for rich earthy foods.
