 Very aromatic and lifted aromas of pie crust, dried apples, caramel, toffee and gun metal with gunpowder undertones. Complex and provocative. Full and very layered on the palate with dried fruits of apple, mango and apricot. Phenolic and textured with a slightly chewy sense. It goes on in the finish and delivers lots of flavor and diversity. Give this time to come together. Best after 2026.

The 2021 Richard Hermann Cuvée is wonderfully fresh and lively, with bright, lemony fruit and aromas of white flowers. This unnamed vineyard's cool site and volcanic soils in the Eola-Amity Hills have produced a wine of impressive depth and concentration. After fermentation, the wine sees a year in Chassin barrels (67% new) and six months in tank before bottling. This wine is superbly accessible now and will effortlessly age for a decade or more in a proper cellar.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Richard Herman Cuvée is distinctly savory, with hints of sour citrus and wild herbs complicating crushed blackberries. Silky and refined with brilliant acidity, this smooths over the palate with ripe red fruits and sweet spices, taking on a chalky mineral sensation toward the close. It leaves a bitter twang, giving way to a sweet and sour sensation, along with silty tannins, as the mouth is left watering for more. The Richard Herman Cuvée is one of the most balanced and thoroughly enjoyable reds from the 2021 Double 00 lineup.
