Substance Pn Pinot Noir is cloaked in wild strawberry, hibiscus, and oyster mushroom, with a lavish palate of rose petal, red cherry and orange zest.

“A pretty pinot with sour cherries, strawberries and a fine herbal edge. Juicy, medium-bodied palate delivers some light cherry and red berries on the palate. Crunchy and concise with lots of fruit at the end.”—James Suckling, 90 points!

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Pn is up-front and incredibly charming, with classic Pinot Noir notes of ripe cherries, rose petals, spice, and salty minerality. Coming 85% from the Golden West Vineyard and the balance from the Evergreen Vineyard, 70% destemmed and aged 10 months in just 5% new French oak, this balanced, medium-bodied, incredibly attractive Pinot Noir will drink nicely for 4-5 years.”– Jeb Dunnuck, 90 points!
