Limited Edition: 2016 Field Blend | 2016 Own Roots
2021 vintage overview from Decanter, a British publication which now has someone actually here, boots on soil, unlike any other wine publication.
“The resulting wines are brilliant. They offer great concentration, wonderful lift and freshness and such fine tannins… the top producers have made wonderfully collectable wines that will age 15 to 20 years. A five-star vintage for the Willamette Valley’ The 2021 growing season was memorable, most notably for the heat dome the region experienced in late June when temperatures reached up to 47.5°C (117.5°F). That heat spike set new records by 3°C to 6°C (5°F to 10°F) across the Pacific Northwest.”

Aromas start with cherry blossoms and move to cast-iron roasted plums. Entry is smooth yet invigorating showing a bright, fresh crisp crunch of plums while moving into tangerines and Asian pears. Wait long enough and toasted graham crackers with red plum jam show up. Finish is exceptionally long with the acidity helping the palate experience even more flavors with kumquat, dark chocolate and those violet candies from France. After leaving the half-full bottle on the kitchen countertop for three days, the wine was still fresh, giving you the information you need to tell that this is a long-term, cellar-able bottle of wine. Load up.
From Free Run / Purely Domestic Wine Report, the only one-person, one-opinion wine critic publication I am aware of at this point:
“2021 PINOT NOIR, YATES CONWILL VINEYARD The nose is candied cherry and root bark with underlying crème de cassis. The palate entry is bright and refreshing with crisp red cranberry and pomegranate growing into a core of juicy, polished watermelon finishing with sublime silkiness and pristine acidity.”
