2022 Hundred Suns "Old Eight Cut" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
94
Decanter
Fermented with 20% whole-cluster, this Pinot Noir gives so much depth and minerality, all at around $35. Approachable and lively now but still serious enough to lay down, aromatics of wild mint, spicy blood orange zest and a serious saline mineral streak. The palate is electric; red fruits and spice dance across a streak of saline minerality. Spicy red plum skin, white pepper and crushed ripe raspberries all play well with one another, finishing with herbaceous raspberry leaf and sea salt.

Year in year out this is one of the best Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs out there for the money.

This wine will embarrass many peoples $80 single vineyard wines.
