2021 Substance Pinot Noir [JS90][V90][JD90]

"A pretty pinot with sour cherries, strawberries and a fine herbal edge. Juicy, medium-bodied palate delivers some light cherry and red berries on the palate. Crunchy and concise with lots of fruit at the end." 

"The 2021 Pinot Noir PN is spicy and earthy in the glass, reminding me more of food than wine, with notes of savory herbs, tomato leaf and cherry sauce forming its bouquet. This is round and pliant on the palate with ripe red and black fruits that soothe, as sweet inner herbal tones form toward the close. It leaves a pleasant staining of round tannins, as rosy inner florals slowly fade. This is a unique style of Pinot Noir from Washington state, but one that's very easy to like." 

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Pn is up-front and incredibly charming, with classic Pinot Noir notes of ripe cherries, rose petals, spice, and salty minerality. Coming 85% from the Golden West Vineyard and the balance from the Evergreen Vineyard, 70% destemmed and aged 10 months in just 5% new French oak, this balanced, medium-bodied, incredibly attractive Pinot Noir will drink nicely for 4-5 years."
