Martin Woods "Bednarik Vineyard" Tualatin Hills Pinot Noir 2022

Decanter : 96 Points

(7/6/2024) The Bednarik is a wine from own-rooted vines planted in the late 1980s in a secluded part of the Tualatin Hills appellation. With generous aromas of strawberries and cranberries that blend so well with the spice’s notes of cinnamon and clove and a hint of sweetness on the palate. Fleshy sweet cherries and blue mountain berries bring a core of ripe fruits to notes of dried herb and rich nori. The smoky saline note carries the lengthy mineral finish. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2042.

(8/6/2024) The 2022 Pinot Noir Bednarik Vineyard pours a deeper hue and reveals notes of tomato leaf, spice, clove, roses, and ripe cranberries. Medium-bodied, it has more structure than the 2023 at this stage, with fine-grained tannins and its spice coming through on the palate as well. It has a long finish and gains in intensity, with notes of incense as well as blood orange spice and a long finish that holds on.
