"Subtly spiced and deeply fruity, this wine has a great track record for improving with age. Rich in dark plums, black cherries, mint, cinnamon and pine accents. So layered and complex, mouth-filling but well balanced by moderate tannins and good acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best from 2027."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Mineral Springs Ranch takes some time to shake off brown sugar and baking spice on the nose and reveal stewed strawberry and raspberry, damp earth and dried herbs. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with an understated core of fruit and a spicy finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in bottle."

"This elegant expression of the Willamette Valley's strong 2021 vintage leads with aromas of blackberries, ginger scones and a bit of Tahitian vanilla. Tart cranberry and orange-zest flavors are soon joined by notes of cedar and cacao nibs. The wine's silky tannins and crisp acidity are equally matched. Enjoy now until 2035. ‡ Michael Alberty"

"Detailed and finely focused, this refined red offers expressive raspberry and guava flavors laced with mineral, forest floor and black tea tones as this builds tension and richness toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 2,400 cases made."
