Reviewed July 2023Produced from the Pommard and Swan clones, the 2021 Pinot Noir Golden Mean is a jeweled ruby with a purple tinge and reveals aromas that are fresh and lifted with spice, including pure black raspberry, violets, and pine. Medium-bodied and taking on more concentration in its ripe tannins and notes of dark berries and turned earth, it has fresh lift and a long finish. This beautiful wine will take some time to reveal its full spectrum. Drink 2025-2040. (AF)

Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir Golden Mean is glossy and expressive this vintage. It comes from Pommard and Swan selection vines planted on east- and west-facing slopes, respectively. It begins with ringing tones of truffle, moss, allspice, cranberry and red cherry aromatics. The light-bodied palate is velvety and refreshing with a surprisingly concentrated core of perfumed fruit, and it has an expansive finish streaked with nuances of spice and earth. (EB)

This is tight and tannin driven with hibiscus and other floral aromas as well as dark fruits. Medium to full body with a juicy and flavorful character yet the fine tannins frame it and keep it together. Racy. A blend of Swan and Pommard 4. Delicious now but will age beautifully.

The Wine Independent
The 2021 Pinot Noir Golden Mean comes from the Pommard & Swan clones. Medium ruby-purple in color, it gallops out with powerful notes of black cherries, fresh blackberries, and raspberry coulis, leading to suggestions of violets, garrigue, and tree bark. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and impactful with rich red and black berry layers and velvety tannins, finishing long and fragrant. (LPB)
