Reviewed May 2025Seven different sites comprise this wine, mainly from the Chehalem Mountains, Eola-Amity and Dundee Hills. This was the wine that started Hundred Suns. Winemaker Grant Coulter reflects on the heat spell in late August, the wines started out giving initially and then tightened up in the barrel. Then relaxed in the tank, loosening up again in the bottle. There's an immediate elegance to the best wines from 2023. An unbelievable wine for $35. Deep violet florals, and a cool core of blue fruits, with a round blue marble in my mouth. (CP)

Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Noir Old Eight Cut opens with a delicate mix of dusty violets, crushed stone and blackberry. Ripe red berry fruits glide across the palate, guided by juicy acidity. The finish is medium in length and pleasing, leaving a cool-toned sensation and lingering inner florals. (EG)

This has been one of my favorite Pinot Noir's from the Willamette for so many years that I've lost count. The 2023 release is not an exception for my continued admiration. This release is a rather fuller style with red and black cherry fruit, a dash of white pepper, light herbs and even lighter tobacco flavors. Super solid and an extraordinary value!
