2021 Coast Range Estate Pinot Noir
93 Points - James Suckling
Tucked in the farthest corner of the Yamhill Carlton AVA amongst the steeply sloping hillsides of the Coast Range mountains, the 45-million-year-old soils of this estate are derived from extremely diverse sedimentary rocks and intrusive volcanic basalts. The wildest of the three vineyards, this site produces wines of extreme complexity, earth-driven minerality and power. The 2021 Coast Range was fermented with 25% whole-clusters and aged in 13% new French oak barrels.

Seductively aromatic, this teases with scents of sandalwood and Asian spices, then leads down a delicious trail of feathery red fruits and delicately-framed tannins. It's an elegant symphony of flavors, whose delicate touch belies its staying power. 305 cases; 13.3%, (Yamhill-Carlton) 94/100 - Paul Gregutt
