Pinot Noir Aeolian 2021 Bethel Heights

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2021 Pinot Noir AEolian comes from blocks planted in 2002, just next to Temperance Hill Vineyard. It has a pale ruby-purple color and layered aromas of cranberries, woodsmoke, garrigue, pipe tobacco and tar. The light-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with a deep core of expressive red berry fruit and a long, spice and earth-laced finish.

A handsome red, polished and refined in structure, offering a fresh burst of raspberry, fresh violet and cinnamon spice flavors that build richness toward supple tannins.

Jeb Dunnuck (94)

A cuvée Bethel Heights began making in 2012, the deep ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Aeolian is expressive with spicy aromatics of lavender, quinine, anise, and black raspberry preserve. Ripe and full-bodied, with sweet tannins, notes of turned mossy earth, and well-balanced acidity, it finishes with toasted spices and a warming feel.
