"A floral-driven aromatic leaps forward from these 30-year-old, own-rooted vines in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Notes of violets and savoury garrigue give way to red berries and earth. The palate is mouth-watering, with lush fruit and fresh acidity coming together in juicy berry flavours and ample structure that hint at this wine just getting warmed up."

"A fragrant, earthy, rose petal aroma is alluring and fresh before explosive raspberry and red cherry flavors spread across the palate, buoyed by tangy acidity and moderate tannins. From an estate-owned vineyard and old vines planted on their own roots."

"A medium red hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Bishop Creek grabs your attention right away with layered aromas of gravelly earth and kirsch, as well as potent notes of crushed pine needles and fresh lavender. Long on the palate, it’s packed with structure and is medium to full-bodied, with mouthwatering mineral accents of saline, a balanced seam of acidity, and ripe tannins. It expands across the palate and retains good focus. Drink 2025-2040."
