Hazelfern Prime Cut Willamette Pinot Noir 2022

Jeb Dunnuck Review Rated 97 From the Laings' favorite barrels of the vintage, the 2022 Pinot Noir Prime Cut has a complete feel, with a jeweled ruby color. Aged for 16 months in 35% new French oak, it's pure with aromas of framboise, sweet herbs, wildflowers, and gravelly earth. Medium-bodied, it has a crystalline purity, with well-defined tannins, a refreshing feel, pristine length, and a great finish. Outstanding. It really is a step up in the range. Drink 2024-2040.
