Reviewed July 2023 The 2021 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge has layered aromatics with a seamless feel in its notes of wet stone, black cherry, and peppery spice. Medium to full-bodied and weightless, it offers ripe, sweet tannins, a supple mouthfeel, and notes of black raspberry, tea leaf, and sassafras. It packs good structure and will have good life ahead of it. (AF)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge has broody red cherry, cranberry and blood orange tones on the nose with accents of fallen leaves, shiitake mushroom, wet tobacco and baking spices. The medium-bodied palate has a harmonious balance of supple tannins, energetic acidity and surprisingly concentrated berry fruit, and it finishes long and layered. 287 cases were made. (EB)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge Vineyard is dark, sensual and also a bit reticent today. Blue/blackberry fruit, lavender, licorice, cloves and leather add to an impression of somber intensity. Even so, the Blue Slide Ridge shows the same mid-weight structure as the other Pinots in the range. (AG)
