Hundred Suns "Old Eight Cut" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2024

Vin Chicago: 92+ Points

(7/2026) Grant Coulter avoids fads, aiming for classic expressions that are benchmark examples. With a sumptuous core of red fruit highlighted by cherry, strawberry-with-the-top-on, pomegranate and cranberry, and complexities of hibiscus, beetroot, chiseled stone, leafy blackberry and pine forest that gain intensity with air and echo through the long finish, this multi-site composition is the whole package. 25% whole cluster inclusion, and just 10% new French oak barrels. Excellent in its class!

(8/17/2026) The flagship 2024 Pinot Noir Old Eight Cut comes from seven vineyards, roughly 75% volcanic soils and the balance marine sedimentary. Medium red in color, it opens with fresh cherry, flowers, spice box, and crushed stony earth. Medium-bodied, it has bright natural acidity, iron-toned minerality, snappy red fruit, and refreshing lift. It’s a wonderful snapshot of the vintage to drink over the coming 8-10 years.

(2/23/2026) Lovely bright red berries, black cherries, spices, pine and red flowers on the nose. A silky palate with flavors of raspberries and crushed blackberries, fine tannins and a clean and mouthwatering finish with some bergamot. Drink now.
