The Story
A refined cool-climate Oregon Pinot Noir from Sequitur Wines’ estate in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. Aromas of violet, black raspberry and cinnamon lead into a palate of sappy red and blue fruit with exotic spice and polished tannins, underscored by vibrant acidity and lasting minerality — a stellar expression of Ribbon Ridge terroir.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted duck breast with cherry glaze, porcini-crusted pork tenderloin, grilled salmon with herbs, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Gruyère.

Bottled to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, the 2019 Pinot Noir Woodstock is perfumed with a hint of purple flowers, violet, black raspberry, and cinnamon. The palate is fresh and crunchy with savory pine, red cherry, and turned earth. It is structured and refreshing at the same time it feels luxurious, with dark fruit and layered complexity.
96 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Sequitor Pinot Noir has alluring scents of dark red cherries, wild blackberries, aniseed and tobacco leaves, with wafts of sweet balsamic and dried violets. The palate is silky and fresh, with deep, earth-laced fruits hinting at more to come with additional bottle time. It's juicy and inviting now but deserves another 2-3 years in bottle.
93 Points - Wine Spectator
This full-bodied red is buoyed by a deep, tense core of tannins and acidity, framed by blueberry and raspberry flavors that show dusky spice and forest floor accents, building density toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030.
92 Points - James Suckling
Ripe strawberry with toasted oak and coffee, but not overdone. Medium-bodied with a fluid center palate and a light finish. Delicate on the palate.
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
You need to lean into the glass to get the aromas initially, but it's well worth the effort. Notes of black-tea leaves, dried flower, herb and spice lead to medium-bodied, juicy, cinnamony flavors, with orange-rind notes threaded throughout. Give it additional time in bottle or decant to see it at its best.
