Pinot Noir 'Olivet Ranch'

Score

"Winemaker Ehren Jordan is passionate about cool-climate expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah, working with vineyards in Northern California and Oregon to coax out different site-specific expressions of these grapes. This Pinot Noir is from the Olivet Ranch vineyard that Jordan purchased in 2011 and converted to organic farming. The wine has delicate red berries with hints of orange zest on the nose. It has a lovely, lifted palate with bright strawberry notes accented by an earthy kick on the finish."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Olivet Ranch is laced with crushed flowers, sweet dried cherry fruit, spice, cedar, leather and tobacco. This mid-weight, gracious Pinot is quite the charmer. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years."
