"2019 Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir come from these 31-year-old, own rooted vines planted in deep Jory soil at 650 feet elevation at a due eastern aspect. The farming is organic and sparing as the vines have achieved a lovely balance emphasizing the distinctive character of the site. 181 cases produced"

"The gently floral, spice and cherry fruit pour from the glass of this superbly elegant Pinot. The texture is lush and full with no lack of body, but no hard edges. This Dundee Hills site was planted more than 30 years ago, much of it own-rooted, and the effect is slightly exotic and a bit wild in a way that brings immense character. The grapes were completely destemmed and gently fermented for two weeks prior to ageing in cask."

Vinous 94 points
"Limpid ruby. Black raspberry, cherry cola and floral aromas are complemented by an exotic spice nuance and hints of succulent herbs and smoky minerals. Well-concentrated yet nervy, offering penetrating red and blue fruit, candied rose and allspice flavors supported by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Finishes impressively long and seamless, displaying lingering red berry preserve and spice notes and discreet tannins."
