Tekstura Pinot Noir Redford-Wetie Vineyard 2021 (750ML)

95 WS

Winemaker Jared Etzel, Robert Parker’s nephew, grew up on the Beaux Freres Vineyard property from the age of 3. His education and personal wine knowledge is formidable, having worked harvests at Artadi in Rioja, and Clos Erasmus in Priorat. After studying oenology and viticulture at Oregon State University, he worked at outstanding California properties such as Fisher, Kapscandy, and Blankiet.

This compelling wine shows impressive structure and polish, with multilayered raspberry and blueberry flavors. Reveals notes of forest floor, crushed rock and black tea as this builds richness and tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033. 455 cases made.—Tim Fish, Wine Spectator
