92 points: Ruby 2018 Old Vine Estate Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains). This wine is sourced from part of the vineyard that dates to the 1970s. Scents of sandalwood, balsam and black cherry open a detailed and deep palate, with the elegance and power typical of old vines. Accents of iron, anise, espresso and earth will tickle your fancy if you give it a good long look. Drink now–2029. —P.G. Wine Enthusiast, December 2021
