2021 Earl Stephens Pinot Noir

Wine Enthusiast
"Vanilla and chocolate overtones give this full-bodied, softly textured wine an almost sweet impression before tasty black cherry and black currant flavors are well balanced by some sour-cherry acidity." 93 Points

Wine & Spirits
Ten Acre is the pinot noir and chardonnay project from Scott and Lynn Adams, best known for their zins at Bella. This 2021 was grown at a vineyard planted to Dijon clones in 1996, on the Goldridge soils of Green Valley. It's brisk, elegant and long, a wine with a coastal pedigree and clear definition to the fruit, as if held in the hands of the tannins. The wine's rose-scented fruit complexity keeps going and doesn't stop, lasting with freshness. 95 Points
