2022 Big Table Farm Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

DEC94 A blend of three Yamhill-Carlton vineyards, Yates Conwill, Coats, and Whitney sites come together, offering the appellation’s signature structure, spice and ample red berries. Tart early-season strawberries, piquant notes of blood orange and sea salt and a streak of dried mountain herbs are all part of an airy, vibrant, aromatic show. The palate is fresh, crunchy red fruits, roughly chopped mint leaves and white pepper accent the ample tannin and rich saline minerality on the finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2034.
WS94 Polished and handsomely structured, with expressive raspberry and tart cherry flavors that take on forest floor, dusky spice and orange peel accents as this builds complexity and richness toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032.
WE94 If this is how they grow Pinot Noir down on the farm, then farm living is the life for me. I love this wine’s bright, fresh raspberry popsicle, lilac and watermelon aromas. The juicy and medium-bodied palate shows off darker raspberry fruit mixed with black-tea and roasted pork-shoulder flavors—just don’t tell the pig on the label. Alcohol 13.1%.
OB93 The outstanding 2022 ‘Willamette Valley’ Pinot Noir totally over-delivers for the price. This was 100% whole cluster fermented and was stored in mainly neutral oak for ten months before bottling. This is very pretty aroaticsally with red rose petals that parade with dusty soils, red currants and menthol notes. The palate is fresh and layered with a smooth texture and bright underlying sense of verve. A glorious core of red fruits greets you, with orange peel and Christmas spices on the palate. Enjoy this beauty now and over the next eight plus years. Drink 2024-2032
