2021 Tenor Pinot Noir
"The 2021 Tenor Pinot Noir comes mainly from the Conner Lee Vineyard which produces berries with thick skins. Stored in 90% new French oak barrels with varying format size, this offers generous black and red fruits on the nose with toasty oak, and suggestions of violet rose petals. The palate is plush and concentrated with a seamless texture. Showing good weight and underlying verve, this is quite simply the finest Washington State Pinot Noir that has been produced. Drink 2023-2033." -95 points, Owen Bargreen, owenbargreen.com
