Hundred Suns 'Old Eight Cut' Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA 2022

The Old Eight Cut refers to a diamond cut dating back to the 1400s using simple tools and few cuts to enhance the natural brilliance of the stone without disguising its true nature.

A rich red color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Old Eight Cut is fruity and floral with notes of ripe raspberry preserve, sweet earth, crushed flowers, and candied flowers. Medium-bodied and ripe with plush, sweet tannins, it has a pleasing gravelly touch of mineral texture on the finish. It’s very pretty and ripe now, although it should hold on over the coming 5-7 years. - Audrey Frick 93
