Rated 95
The 2021 Pinot Noir Ashley's brings another level of depth and is medium-bodied and as elegant as they come, with beautiful cherry and framboise fruits, subtle nuances of white pepper and leafy herbs, flawless balance, and a great finish. Fermented with 25% whole clusters and aged 15 months in 53% new French oak, this brilliant effort will evolve for 7-8 years, although I see no reason to hold off either. Drinking Window 2023-2031.

Wine Tasting Notes
Aromas of black cherry, raspberry compote, rose petal, cinnamon and graham cracker set the stage for this elegant Fess Parker Ashley's Sta Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Black cherry, cranberry an earthy/forest floor element and a touch of minerality are highlighted by the hallmark acidity found in fruit from this cold climate vineyard. A touch of sweet oak frames it all in nicely and makes for terrific aging potential.
