Patricia Green Cellars "La Belle Promenade" Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir 2022

Jeb Dunnuck : 95 Points

(8/6/2024) From a biodynamically farmed vineyard, the 2022 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard is a bright ruby/magenta hue and takes on more depth on the nose, with black raspberries, grenadine, a hint of purple flowers, fresh earth, and a touch of rosemary. A lovely, seamless wine, with a plush tannin structure, even acidity, a very supple texture, and a floating finish with a lightly salty, mineral iron tone, it feels more approachable now but should have a wide drinking window. Drink 2024-2038.

Vinous - Eric Guido : 93 Points

(1/2024) The 2022 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard is distinctly savory, with a wild blend of blood orange and plum sauce complicated by hints of rosemary. This is silky, nearly creamy in feel, and deeply textural, with dark red fruit depths, sage and saline minerals flowing throughout. Suggestions of citrus enliven the senses as the 2022 tapers off long and staining yet only lightly tannic. La Belle Promenade is already showing beautifully today yet promises a long and steady evolution. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2032.
