94 Points Wine Spectator
This handsome, brooding Pinot offers multilayered raspberry and cherry flavors highlighted by spiced cinnamon and sandalwood notes before finishing with medium-grained tannins.
 
92 Points Vinous
The 2021 Pinot Noir Nuthouse is exotic in the glass, with cascading florals and foreign spices complicating dried strawberries. This soothes with its juicy textures and ripe red and blue fruits as a core of juicy acidity adds a lovely inner freshness, and sweet herbs amass toward the close. Chalky minerals linger as the mouth waters for more and gentle grippy tannins add youthful poise. Very nice.
 
92 Points Decanter
Classic notes from the Eola-Amity Hills with loads of depth and texture. Aromatics of turned earth, Christmas spice and ripe black fruit. The palate emphasises the wine's savoury character with notes of soy, and dried thyme, transitioning to blackberries and Mission figs, amply textured with fine tannins and a mineral finish.
 
Winemaker Notes
A classically Eola-Amity Hills blend telling the perfect story of our estate vineyards in this AVA, this Nuthouse Pinot Noir is brooding with crunchy cassis and deep black raspberry notes. Its mouthwatering acidity mellows the textured tannins and adds a layer of depth, personality and longevity.
