2018 Andrew Rich 'Marine Sedimentary' Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"There's a rich cloak of baking spices around pretty strawberry and cherry fruit flavors. The name tips you off that there may be some accent notes of seashells, which come up in the back of the palate as the wine rolls into a drying finish. The vineyard sources are unknown, but the flavors conjure up thoughts of Ribbon Ridge. Drink 2023–2033." - Paul Gregutt (7/1/2021)
92 Points - Vinous:
"Deep magenta. Spice-accented red fruit, floral and succulent herb aromas pick up a hint of smokiness with air. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors underscored by a vein of zesty minerality. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on the persistent finish, which is given grip by slowly mounting, talc-y tannins.
92 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Sinewy in structure yet complexly layered, with dark plum, crushed stone and savory bay leaf accents that gather tension toward a slight bite of tannins. Hands off for now. Drink now through 2029. 555 cases made."
