5/5/2024 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 94 points

Nose of dark cherry, cola, and light fresh mint. Black plum and black cherry palate vibrates with energy and acidity, adding black tea and hints of orange peel and cranberry. Thin tannins on the finish, with tons of baking spice, wild strawberry, more cranberry, and hints of Cointreau. Quite a complex win that's hard to pin down - different flavors would pop up with each sip.

Jerry: Loved this. Depth, complex layers of red fruits, brooding, earthy.

My first from this producer. Even though it's pretty shy right now in its very early stages, it juuust found its way into a 94 for me, something that really starts to stand out from the pack.

Subtle on the nose but not closed; primary, but not boring. There's a really, really intriguing depth and "sappiness" to this, a sense of real weight and substantial latent power that never feels excessive or off-putting. Quite dark and concentrated without losing any sense of freshness, with a deep well of dark black cherries, vivid fresh blueberries (plus a bit of thicker blueberry compote for good measure), and a cool, minerally, almost minty accent running through the whole thing; it was this refreshing "coolness" that brought it from a delicious burst of young Pinot fruit to something more refined and interesting, constantly begging for another sip even with plenty of richness.

I've had other OR pinot with even more of that evergreen/minty character, but in some of those examples, the fruit was as risk of being buried. Not at all the case here. It's still very Oregon; I'm not saying this is a huge cherry cola style of Pinot at all. Not much in the way of oak presence, either, FWIW, almost all about the pure fruit. Very good stuff. If I'm overrating it slightly right now, a couple of years will change that too.

Typiska Pinot drag utan viss komplexitet. Frukten är fin men vinet lyfter in riktigt. Behöver förmodligen ett gäng år till i källaren. Är nog lätt att mistas som Bourgogne.

Deep fruited, mix of red and black. Low tannin, tobacco leaf and spice. Fruit evolves with time open and becomes richer and juicier.

A bit more body came as it was opened too.

Good, not sure about the qpr maybe time does it some good?

"Running" Club Oregon vs the World - Chardonnay & Pinot Noir (Al fresco in leafy West London): First sip was really engaging but - perhaps because i so rarely drink New World pinots, it's charms quickly faded for me. Some raspberry fruit there, a bit of jamminess, the oak bite is apparent, not clumsy in any way but the kind of thing that you have to be there for, and I wasn't there for it. Interestingly this was the most divisive wine at the table, being one person's clear favourite and others least liked.

very refined. the 30% whole cluster is really over performing here with a stiff rendering leaning towards stem-iness in the nose and palate, a slight acridity and vegetal note. Lovely red fruit, lovely integration with a highly mineral palette feel and pleasant finish. overperforms.

Very interesting wine. On PnP, came out quite precocious and sweet. But with some time in glass, a deeper profile came through, with spice and dark cherry notes. A slightly bitter finish, which lends an attractive complexity to the wine. Medium plus tannins would benefit with some time to soften over the next year or so. As this remains open, it’s really showing off some class! Sweet hints of oak are now showing on the long finish. This should improve over the next 4+ years.

Even though it is oaked, it doesn’t present as such. Citrus, funk, minerality. Bitey when opened, but mellowed out through the evening. We really enjoyed this with salmon and a dill cream sauce.

Delicious. Crunchy red fruit and Christmas spice nose. Light-bodied, beautiful ruby colors. Tart cranberry and some ripe strawberry in the mouth with the reappearance of the spice and an undercarriage of damp earth. Sexy and fun to drink. Medium plus acidity carries the finish. I’ll let remaining bottles mature 2 - 4 years.

Flower pastille and red cherry nose, simple but attractive. Medium acidity, tannins almost completely resolved in this young bottle. The palate reflects the nose with an additional element of fungal earthiness on the finish. Very nice.

This is excellent. Oregon really does a nice job with Gamay. Fruit flavors are sour berry and cranberry with a huge pepper streak right through the middle. Let spiciness contrasted with the fruit is really enjoyable. We paired this with Thai food and it was fantastic.

Berserker day purchase. Found this to be quite impressive. Has a very quality intensity reminiscent of burgundy. Agree there is definite structure on the back end with some well balanced M+ acidity. Relative to Oregon, bigger in style though retains a nice elegance as well. Nice nose also. Definite aging potential and some nice unique personality. Will be seeking out more from this producer.

Black and red fruit, winter spices, wet earth. Medium acidity, tannins provide soft focus. Palate has a dark focus, but plays elegantly to the finish. Very nice.

2019 Hundred Suns Pinot Noir Sequitur Vineyard

Ribbon Ridge more

2/28/2024 - ptaylor2112 Likes this wine: NR

Disclosure: No rating on purpose, as this bottle was provided to me as a thank you for helping with BerserkerDay.

Notably, the Sequitur vineyard is owned by Oregon legend Mike Etzel of Beaux Freres fame. Hundred Suns owner/winemaker Grant Coulter was the winemaker at Beaux Freres for ten years before venturing off on his own.

Drank over two days. This wine has the pleasant plummy soft fruits and medium minus-ish body that I find in many Ribbon Ridge Pinots. For me, serving temperature is very important for Ribbon Ridge. This showed best between 55 and 60 degrees, which coaxes out a nice balancing acidity on the back end. The last glass was the best.

This would be a great wine for exploring how temperature affects the tasting experience.

Drink now (at cellar temp!) or hold.

This is my last remaining bottle from a winery purchase in 2020 . Count me as a big fan.
The positive development is very impressive.
Loaded with floral stem inclusion spice, mulberries and kiwi fruit on a racy brisk mid palate carrying through to the seemless finish. I underestimated how great this wine would become and in hindsight wish we still had a few in the cellar.
