2022 Sequitur ‘Triple Seven’ Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

JD97 The 2022 Pinot Noir Triple Seven was raised in 30% new French oak and fermented in concrete. A jeweled ruby color with a light magenta hue, it’ s pure and spicy with a savory depth to its notes of ripe raspberry, preserved cherries, wild roses, and mossy earth. Medium-bodied, it has a wonderfully refreshing feel, with ripe, well-defined tannins and a long, tapered, spiced finish. It’ s crispy and refreshing all the way through. Drink 2026-2040.
VIN96 The 2022 Pinot Noir Triple Seven is a total pleasure on the nose, displaying wonderful harmony. It blends enriching notes of cherry sauce with dusty sage, lavender, earth tones and hints of rosemary. This is round and expansive on the palate, with a solid core of primary fruit that saturates beneath an air of violet inner florals. The 2022 takes on a flowery concentration through the finish, tapering off with a tart cranberry crunchiness and edgy tannins, all offset by a bump of residual acidity. The potential here is off the charts.
WA95 The 2022 Sequitur Pinot Noir was crafted with around 12% whole clusters and matured in 35% new French oak. It has inviting scents of brown sugar, red cherry and raspberry jam, aniseed, wild mint and fern, and it continues to unfurl aromatically as it airs in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, with bursts of nuanced, spicy fruit. It has abundant, clay-textured tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a long finish with complex spicy accents.
Estate Notes: The 2022 Pinot Noir expresses itself with a bouquet of fresh coastal breeze and spring wildflowers on the nose, and a pallet that shows bright fruit similar to ripe pomegranates with a hint of entangled minerality. Incredibly drinkable even in its infancy, the 2022 Pinot Noir marks itself as a wine with great longevity. The 2022 Sequitur Pinot Noir grapes were harvested between October 4th and October 10th. An average of 12% whole cluster fruit was included in our fermentations. After 18 days on skins, the wine was then gently pressed and settled before being barreled down into 35% new french oak for 11 months.
