95/100Erin Brooks,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir la Encantada Vineyard, made with 15% whole clusters, has wild aromas of iron, pipe tobacco, woodsmoke, autumn leaves, cola and lavender with a core of red berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate balances concentrated fruit with lacy tannins, and it has energetic acidity that highlights pretty floral tones on the finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in bottle. 118 cases were made.

The 2021 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard is gentle and caressing on the palate. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cinnamon, blood orange and dried herbs all grace this super-expressive Pinot. Ryan Deovlet employs just a touch of whole clusters here (15%), which add aromatic presence. Aging is done in a combination of 225 and 500L barrels.
