97 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors is tremendously perfumed and layered this vintage. Matured in 63% new oak for 15 months, it takes significant time in the glass to unfurl its wild berry fruit, then gains in intensity, offering streaks of blood orange, tobacco, licorice and hibiscus. The palate is seamless and velvety, packed to the brim with floral flavors, and its energetic acidity and arresting expression call you back to the glass again and again. 2,059 cases were produced. Drink 2025-2040 (Jun 2023)"
95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A transparent ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors is perfumed with potpourri, fresh red cherry, and fresh herbs and brings a good deal of brightness and lift from this site. More linear in its feel, on the palate it’s vibrant with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and notes of cranberry cocktail, fresh spices, and dusty earth, and it has fantastic energy throughout. Drink 2025-2040. (Jul 2023)"
94 points James Suckling: "Lots of blue fruits and raspberries with some green strawberry and floral undertones. Honeysuckle, too. Full-bodied with firm and tight tannins. Linear and structured. Cooler, tighter. Needs time to soften. Drink after 2025. (Jun 2023)"
Producer notes: "This Pinot Noir is aromatically alluring with cool fruit character and spice undertones. Notes of citrus, sassafras, and cedar shavings are layered into this very complex wine owing to the diversity of vineyards sourced for the Westside Road Neighbors. Plush and round at the entry, the wine gives way to red fruits and citrus peel in the mid-palate and finishes with the signature refined tannin structure and mineral sensation. Stunningly complex, this wine will develop nicely over time but is irresistible today. Alcohol 14.1%. Optimal Drinking Window: 2024-2031."
