Stoller 2019 Nancy’s Pinot Noir

The Nancy's reserve is principally Pommard clone and gets a bit more new oak – about one quarter new. For me that's all a big plus and this wine nicely mixes accessibility, mixed fruits, good structure and medium term ageability. Blood orange, cherry and chocolate flavors pop up immediately, with delicate herbal accents following through the finish. Drink now and through the rest of the decade. 655 cases; 13.5%; $75 (Dundee Hills)

Ruby 2019 Flora's Reserve Pinot Noir

This highly limited reserve showcases fruit from the original 1973 Wadenswil vines. As is generally true with such old vines, alcohol levels are lowered and aromatic and flavor nuances are amplified. Threads of cinnamon, cumin, cola and caramel weave around a black cherry core. A bedrock minerality anchors the wine, which shows careful balance and perfect proportion. This is a truly special wine that expresses the very best aspects of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. 44 cases; 13%; $125 (Laurelwood District)
