Hyland Estates - McMinnville 'Old Vine Pinot Noir - Single Vineyard' 2021 (Magnum)

Hyland Estates winemaking philosophy starts and ends in the vineyard. Wines that are distinct and intriguing with depth and breadth are not made, they are grown. 

In the vineyard we focus on the soil and it's biodiversity by biodynamically farming each of the founding blocks. In the winery they focus on getting out of the way and let the fruit of each block become the wine it wants to be. 

Co-winemaker, Brian Irvine: “A lovely mix of cassis, rose petals toasted spices and cedar aerate the room. On the attack, a mouthful of black cherries, dark plums and sweet leather greet you, with beautiful framing tannins to support the wine.”

This wine is enjoyed with one of man’s favorite foods: bacon. We recommend either bacon wrapped scallops or for you red meat lovers, a bacon wrapped Filet Mignon where the salty savory notes from the swine can perfectly match with the sweet fruit and tea spices that emerge from the wine.

“Sleek and vibrant, with multilayered raspberry and red plum flavors highlighted by orange peel and dusky spices. Builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2031. 4,000 cases made.” - 92 Points, Wine Spectator

“This has aromas of cherries, blueberries, cloves, nutmeg and dried herbs. Excellent concentration here, with juicy fruit and spice wrapped up in a fine-tannin frame. Tangy finish.” - 91 Points, James Suckling

“How is this wine only $25? It has everything I want from a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir at a much higher price point: great fruit, elevated acidity, fine-grained tannins, restrained alcohol and a crisp mouthfeel. Aromas and flavors of sweet red cherries, cocoa powder and brick dust.” - 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
