Sineann 2021 Yates Conwill Vineyard Pinot Noir
Long a standout for Sineann, this new vintage of this designate is as good as any in its history. It's supple, powerful, muscular and dense. In short, it's ageworthy Willamette Valley Pinot Noir at a value price. A mix of tart red berries, it skirts along the edges of preserves or pie fruits but stays firm and fresh. It gains focus in the finish, suggesting that it's the rare wine that can be enjoyed immediately at such a young age, or tucked away for a decade or longer.
