Surprised to see the low rating on this. I really like it for 20 bucks. Blueberry, cherry, some earth, maybe a bit of green tree, cocoa powder at the end. Good acidity. Great weeknight wine. I’d highly recommend. — 2 months ago

After reading the other comments, I think it may be getting close to it sweet spot after 10 years. Close harmony between tannins and fruits. Another fine example from this well established Oregon winery.  — 3 months ago

Vanilla and oak on the nose. Wet rock. Not as bright and fruity as other Pinot noirs. Would buy again. — 4 months ago

No fruit here! Just plenty of earth. Slightly skunky on the nose in the best way. 2 more in the cellar ... can’t wait to see where they go! — 4 years ago

Nose: cherry, blackberry. Something savory like butter/greasy chips, cake batter, pepper.
Color: slightly dense for Pinot noir, med/ light body, brown rim.
Palate: dark berries, good acid, nice alcohol ending, leather,subtle spice but still has fruit.
Paired amazingly with Spicy Indian food. Tandoori Cauliflower.

Hands down favorite. Well balanced, beautiful sipper. Nothing too soft, or aggressive. Doesn’t need to punch you in the face to score a 10 — 5 months ago

Antics Terra Collective Tasting. A dark, brooding pinot from a hot year in Willamette, full of bramble, dark blackberry, saline, blueberry pie filling. Super dry with big tannins. Unique and one of a kind. — 8 months ago

in line with the other reviews. An exceptional wine maker, doing everything from planting to pruning to winemaking. Very small production. Opened the bottle about an hour before consuming every last drop. Quite delicious. An exceptional example of Oregon Pinot Noir.  — 3 months ago

The 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley lifts from the glass with a spicy and savory blend of citrus-tinged strawberries and clove. It's softly textured with juicy acidity and crisp wild berry fruits. This leaves a white pepper tinge and edgy tannins while maintaining a fresh persona. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2024)

Earth, barnyard, crunchy berries, depth and breadth envelops the palate. Layers upon layers. Plenty left to give. Fantastic offering from the Etzel’s. — 5 months ago

Definitely doesn’t feel 14 years old. Still very primary with black cherry and baking spice and cedar. Very good, high quality Willamette Pinot. I could (and have) drink a lot of this. — 8 months ago

In a line up with GC burgundy, blinded. Had everyone fooled. Volcanic shallow soil and young vines. Meticulous berry sorting.
Shows Oregon can produce wines of world class potential. Still a baby. Cooler vintage less critically acclaimed, but probably more aligned with burgundy lover preferences. — 7 years ago
