Critical Acclaim: 98 pts Jeb Dunnuck; 94 pts Vinous; 92 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
About the Winery: Martin Woods makes site-focused Oregon wines with an eye to freshness and balance.
About the Wine: Jessie James Vineyard is an east-facing, high-elevation Eola-Amity Hills site rooted in shallow volcanic Nekia soil. This 2023 bottling is Pinot Noir from that distinctive vineyard.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Red and black cherry, forest floor and tree-bark spice meet lively acidity, fine structure and a long mineral finish.
"Layered and complete with leather, ripe framboise, pressed herbs, mossy earth, and a mineral frame" - Jeb Dunnuck.
"Elegance defines the palate, with round textures and saline mineral tones up front as ripe red berry fruit" - Vinous.
"Matured for 19 months, it has slowly unfurling scents of raspberry, blueberry, pomegranate, rooibos tea leaves, lavender and mossy bark." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Serving Suggestion: Serve slightly cool with roast duck, mushrooms, salmon or herb-roasted poultry.
Varietal: Pinot Noir.
