92 Points - Vinous
Our 2021 Quandary Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 92-point score by Vinous:
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Quandary Vineyard is understated and coy, with rosy florals and cinnamon spice tones that slowly give way to dried cherries. Supple and pliant, it smoothes over the palate with ease, displaying ripe red berry fruits lifted by a mentholated herbal freshness. While gently tannic, the 2021 leaves the mouth watering for more, tapering off long and lightly structured yet fresh." - Eric Guido

Our 2021 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 92-point score by Vinous:
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard is dark and rich in the glass, showing dusty dried violet and lavender tones over notes of steeped plum and brown spice. This flows across the palate with textures of pure silk, supple and pliant, with juicy acidity and vividly ripe wild berry fruits. It finishes with medium length—lifted and finessed, with echoes of licorice and blue inner florals." - Eric Guido

91+ Points - Vinous
Our 2021 Meyer Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 91+ point score by Vinous:
"Darkly floral, the 2021 Pinot Noir Meyer Vineyard slowly evolves with a whiff of flowery underbrush, ashen stones and ground cloves. Cool-toned in feel, with silky textures and fresh acidity, this impresses with its vivacity and perfumed wild berry fruits. Gently tannic, the 2021 finishes medium in length, repeating blue and purple florals that resonate on." - Eric Guido

Our 2021 Sokol Blosser Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 91-point score by Vinous:
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Sokol Blosser Vineyard bursts from the glass with a mix of autumnal spices, rosy florals and dried black cherries. It's silken in feel with juicy acidity and red berry fruits. The 2021 leaves the palate dry, closing with an inner floral tinge of violets and lavender that slowly recedes." - Eric Guido

Our 2021 Quandary Vineyard Chardonnay has been awarded a 91-point score by Vinous:
"The 2021 Chardonnay Quandary Vineyard opens with an airy blend of spring flowers, lime and crushed stones. This splashes across the palate with ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices, all energized by juicy acidity. It finishes with admirable length and concentration but remains incredibly fresh, closing with a mix of tactile minerals and hints of lemon zest." - Eric Guido

90 Points - Vinous
Our 2023 Pinot Gris has been awarded a 90-point score by Vinous:
"The 2023 Pinot Gris is understated with a pretty bouquet of spring flowers, wet stones and freshly sliced nectarines. It's ripe in style, displaying depths of green melon and white peach tones motivated by brisk acidity. A tactile tinge of minerality lingers as this tapers off staining and long with a lasting hint of kiwi." - Eric Guido

91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Our 2021 Quandary Vineyard Chardonnay has been awarded a 91-point score by Jeb Dunnuck:
"Bright yellow/silver-hued, the 2021 Chardonnay Quandary Vineyard comes from young vines planted in 2016 and located in Yamhill-Carlton. It has a light bit of flint lift on the nose, with notes of yellow apples, delicate baking spice, wet stones, and salted lemon. Medium-bodied, it gains in intensity on the palate while remaining fresh and medium-framed, with a lovely, fresh persistence on the finish. Another highly charming wine, simple is sometimes better, and this would be perfect alongside roast chicken. Drink it over the next 3-4 years, but I like where it is now." - Audrey Frick

Our 2021 Sokol Blosser Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 91-point score by Jeb Dunnuck:
"From vines planted in 1971 in the Dundee Hills, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sokol Blosser Vineyard is a deeper ruby/magenta color and offers notes of fresh black cherries, violets, spiced cranberries, and pine. Medium-bodied, it has ripe tannins, zesty, lifted acidity, and a clean, earthy finish. It is going to benefit from another several months in bottle and will drink well over the coming 8-10 years." - Audrey Frick

Our 2021 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 91-point score by Jeb Dunnuck:
"The medium ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard comes from Yamhill-Carlton and is layered with nicely detailed aromas of preserved cranberries, fresh pine, mint, and rocky earth. It carried a nicely balanced linear feel on the palate, with finely coiled tannins, mouthwatering, fresh acidity, and a mineral texture. It’s going to benefit from another year in bottle, then drink it over the following 6-8 years." - Audrey Frick

Our 2021 Quandary Vineyard Pinot Noir has been awarded a 91-point score by Jeb Dunnuck:
"A saturated purple/magenta color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Quandary Vineyard comes from Yamhill-Carlton and shows off a darker profile in the glass, both in appearance and on the nose, with notes of black cherries, turned forest earth, violets, and sappy herbs. It has a more expansive and plush feel through the palate, with medium to full body, a velvety, plush texture, ripe tannins, and good freshness, although it has more modest acidity. There’s a seamless and more luxurious feel to this wine that’s going provide a wide window for enjoyment over the next 8-10 years." - Audrey Frick
