"Glistening medium ruby core with a shimmering bluish rim in the glass, the 2021 Eileen Vineyard Pinot Noir is a masterclass of winemaking. About 45% whole cluster was used during fermentation to give it some added structure and tannin, while the aging takes place in 35% new French oak barrels, which deliver fantastic baking spice tones. The vineyard is at the very top of the hill, where winds are constantly buffeting the vines, creating grapes with very thick skins. Gorgeous aromas of lilac flowers, blue plums, cedary herbs, lemon verbena, and a touch of melted milk chocolate keep you coming back for more. Acidity is elevated alongside the crunchy and complex tannins that keep everything tied together. Better in 2024. 792 cases made. Highly recommended and editor’s choice."

"A deep saturated ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Eileen Vineyard is more aromatically reserved initially but opens in the glass to emerging notes of rocky earth, ripe black and blue fruit, and wild herbs. It already displays a tension aromatically that carries over to the palate, where the wine is full-bodied, with a weightless feel, ripe, well-structured tannins, and a tension-packed, ripe core. It has a nervous energy at this stage that bodes well for significant aging potential over the next 15 to 20 years. It’s a remarkable wine that demands aging time."
