La Biblioteca Estate Reserve Pinot Noir 2022

La Biblioteca Estate Reserve Pinot Noir 2022 is made from 100% Pinot Noir.

From the cool, wind-swept McMinnville AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley, La Biblioteca's Estate Reserve Pinot Noir is a site-driven wine of red-fruited lift, savory spice, and fine tannin — grown on marine-sediment and volcanic soils.

Review:

Fresh and fruit-driven, the Estate Reserve is comprised of a mixture of clones from the Aegrina estate in the cool, west-facing hills of the McMinnville AVA. One winemaker, Rob Brittan, began this wine and finished by Burgundian Francois Millet. It shows generous red fruits, fresh cranberries, raspberries and a touch of piquant blood orange. The palate flashes savoury herbs, tart red fruits and sour Montmorency cherries carrying the finish.

A dusting of sweet spice and crushed violet candies gives way to ripe blackberries as the exuberant 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve emerges from the glass. Round and soothing upon entry, this flows across the palate with lifted textures and pure red and blue fruits. Brisk acidity maintains fantastic freshness as the 2022 tapers off with staining length and grippy tannins, maintaining energy throughout.

Medium red-colored, the 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve is lifted with spicy notes of clove, sour cherries, pink peppercorn, and orange peel. Medium-bodied and inviting, with a delicate, floral and fresh feel on the palate, it has fine tannins and even acidity. Drink this over the next 4-5 years. 615 cases were produced.

La Crema Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2022

The nose reveals aromas of blueberry, raspberry, and black tea, while the palate offers cranberry and plum fruit complemented by subtle notes of forest floor and exotic spices. Integrated tannins and balanced acidity carry through to a long, refined finish.

Review:

A more widely distributed wine starting with this vintage, the 2022 Pinot Noir has plenty of finesse and delicacy given the mountain fruit that goes into it, including some from the producer's Sable Mountain Vineyard, which adds intensity to the luxurious red fruit and baking spice that accent the well-integrated oak, refined tannins, and moderate length of this medium-bodied effort. Age through 2032.

This wine is bright, with aromas of black strawberry, boysenberry, citrus, mulled spices and toasted vanilla on the nose. The flavors on the palate are dark cherry, sweet maple, blood orange, crushed dried herbs and grapefruit rind. It finishes with dry, juicy tannins. Pair with mushroom risotto.



"Purple and blue fruits with dusty minerality on the nose as well as roses, violets and wild bramble. High-toned yet darkly fruited on the medium- to full- bodied palate with pine resin and an almost volcanic feel to the chalkiness. Drink or hold."

Donelan Two Brothers Pinot Noir 2022


When we set out to produce Pinot Noir at Donelan Family Wines, we wanted to make a wine that embraces our favorite aspects of great Pinot from Sonoma County. The journey has taken us to the Two Brothers Pinot Noir where we believe terroir and technique have met at a beautiful crossroads. The composition of the Two Brothers wine is rooted heavily in Bennett Valley and Russian River Valley lending spice and earth to the nose, while the Sonoma Coast fruit gives an aromatic lift to the wine and brings length to the palate.

Named after siblings Tripp and Cushing Donelan, the Two Brothers Pinot Noir has become a fan favorite of our customers. It’s an extremely versatile wine. For one, it’s ready to drink upon release, but will also age beautifully for years if you throw a few bottles in your cellar. Our preferred food pairing with the Two Bros is always a game bird. Turkey, wings, quail, dove, or duck recipes are all super complimentary with this Pinot Noir’s dark fruit, spice, and freshness. We tend to recommend this wine for Thanksgiving every year.

Aromas recall a bouquet of rose petals and gingersnaps. A full, fleshy mouth-feel on the mid-palate with a beautiful fruit composition of plum sauce, cranberries, and fresh flowers.

Review:

Two Brothers is sourced from prime sites throughout Sonoma County, including Mardikian, Devoto, Bucher, and Klopp in the Russian River Valley and Henry David Vineyard in Bennett Valley. The wine undergoes native fermentation in 32% new French oak and is aged for 17 months, with around 18% whole cluster inclusion. This Pinot Noir is wonderfully expressive and brooding, showcasing smoky clove, candied raspberry, leather, and white pepper aromas. Medium-bodied with remarkable fruit purity, crystalline acid tension, firm yet gentle tannins, and fragrant baking spice nuances, it represents this wine's most focused and pure expression to date. Winemaker David Milner attributes the refined tannin quality to the use of a new Pellenc sorter, which allows even greater precision and finesse in crafting this standout effort.

The medium red 2022 Pinot Noir Two Brothers is pretty and perfumed with a lovely, fresh spice, cinnamon, ripe red cherries, and fresh pine. The palate is refreshing, with well-defined structure, spice, and a balanced, ripe feel. It’s medium-bodied and has a hint of silky ripe fruit and a long finish. Drink over the coming 10-12 years. - Audrey FRICK

Lady Hill Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2022

Lady Hill Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir. 

A combo of garnet to cardinal highlights the hues of this fruit forward Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Subtle floral hints of tea leaf and rose petal give way to a complexity of viney, brambled red and black fruit, wet moss and baking spices. A hint of savory jerky barrel nuance and turned earth contrast the freshness and vibrancy of boysenberry fruit. The finish is refined and juicy, as the elegant tannin structure builds into a crescendo of salivating acids built for food. 

Pair with herb crusted pork loin, mushroom risotto drizzled with truffle oil, or a creamy textured Roucoulons cheese.
