Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator
Burnished, with vanilla and spice notes accenting the plum pastry and dark cherry flavors. The toasty finish lingers, offering sandalwood details.
Wine Enthusiast
Shy aromas of black plum, mace and rusty earth show on the nose of this bottling. Dried cherry and cranberry flavors meet with dried mushroom on the palate, which is elegant while mellow.
Wine Advocate
Aged 17 months in 20% new oak, the pale to medium ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard is scented of cranberries, Earl Grey tea, dried flowers, dust, crushed stone, dried thyme and blackberries with hints of mushrooms, tree bark and cured meats. The palate is light to medium-bodied and intense with very pretty layers, a gently grainy frame and a long, juicy, nuanced finish.

My favorite in the lineup, the 2017 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard is stunning in every way. Gorgeous black raspberry fruits, lots of floral, scorched earth, and sappy herb aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness, flawless balance, and a great finish all make for one of the most captivating Pinot Noirs in the vintage. It’s brilliant today yet should easily evolve for 15 years or more.
VIN –
The 2017 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard is powerful and tightly wound today. That won’t be an issue in a few years of course, but readers have to be patient. Star anise, cinnamon, dried rose petal, blood orange and mint give the Jensen an exotic feel that is impossible to miss. Deep and layered on the palate, the Jensen has plenty of depth, but the tannins need time to soften. I hope to taste this in another few years’ time. The collection of three blocks in a sort of amphitheater yields a Pinot of real distinction.

This has sunny and seductive ripeness in 2017, with notes of caramelized cherries and toasty oak that point it toward pork loin.
