Dobbes Family "Grand Assemblage" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Jeb Dunnuck : 91 Points

(9/17/2023) Spicy and pure, the 2021 Pinot Noir Grand Assemblage pours a deep ruby and offers aromas of ripe raspberry, forest herbs, and roses. Medium-bodied, with crunchy red fruit, ripe tannins, and good length, this classic and refreshing red delivers fresh, pure fruit. It’s drinking well now and will drink nicely over the next few years.

(7/1/2023) This is one complex set of aromas, with red currants and dark chocolate morphing into rose hips, balsa wood and espresso shots. The flavors of strawberries, black pepper, thyme and lemon zest are fresh and vibrant. The acidity is lip-smacking, while the tannins are subtle.

(3/14/2023) Raspberries, redcurrants, strawberries, cinnamon and crushed stones on the nose. Chocolate orange, too. Juicy and bright, with a wealth of sweet red berry fruit framed by silky tannins. Tasty finish. Drink or hold.
