2011 EIEIO 892 Pinot NoirWA 89 points :McDonald’s 2011 Pinot Noir 892 was named for its combining two lots from Saffron Fields neither of which were sufficient to fill a fermenter: one from clone 777 and one of clone 115. There is abundant purple and black, boysenberry-like fruit sweetness from 777 here but a very vintage-typical tart edge and juicy brightness. To my palate, though, the carnal depth and mineral not to mention floral nuances of the corresponding vineyard-designate are entirely missing here. “We tried blending this back into that material,” explains McDonald, “but the result was boring,” with the 777-115 blend ganging up on the Pommard- and Wadenswil-dominated batch. A bit of new oak supplementation compliments the breadth and sweet fruitiness of this flattering if relatively simple bottling, though it may also slightly harden and dry its finish. McDonald thinks this will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle. It’s definitely one to monitor.
 
2012 EIEIO Saffron Fields Pinot Noir ($450/btl) Neal Martin 91 :The 2012 Pinot Noir Saffron Fields consists of five separate ferments from the five leased blocks of vine that were picked October 8-18 and matured in 25% new French oak. The nose offers more black rather than red fruit, tightly knit with tinge of dried blood. The palate is medium-bodied with supple fruit that now veer back toward red: raspberry and wild strawberry interlaced with white pepper and orange rind. There is decent substance here, silky smooth and commendably long.
 
2012 Tendril White Label Pinot Noir ($380/btl) WS 91 :Plush, generous and focused, with a green olive overtone to the blueberry and spice flavors. Nubby tannins complete the picture as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2020. 350 cases made.
 
2012 Tendril Tight Rope Pinot NoirWS 91 : Rich and expressive, plush in texture but not heavy, with refined tannins around a core of blueberry, purple plum and nutmeg flavors, lingering on the peppery finish. Best from 2016 through 2022. 140 cases made
 
2011 Saffron Fields Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir  – WS 91 : Vibrant, expressive and distinctive for its butterscotch overtones to the cherry and spice flavors, lingering effortlessly against refined tannins. This has elegance and depth. Drink now though 2019. 180 cases made
 
2012 Saffron Fields Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir ($430/btl) WS 91 : Gritty tannins underlie generous ripe cherry and floral flavors, turning toward black tea and rose petal noses as the finish lingers. Will benefit from time in the cellar. Best from 2017 through 2022. 365 cases made.
