While we still have some stellar bottles from 2021–2023 on our shelves, the 2024s we’ve tasted so far have exceeded expectations across the board.
For the fourth consecutive year, Oregon has delivered a vintage that can confidently be called both outstanding and classic for Pinot Noir. If you’ve been following the region, this streak from 2021 through 2024 feels less like luck and more like a new standard. In fact, aside from the smoke-impacted 2020 vintage, you’d have to rewind all the way to 2013 to find a year that didn’t turn heads.
What makes 2024 especially exciting is how complete the wines already feel. There’s a precision, vibrancy, and balance that signals serious aging potential—but they’re also incredibly compelling right now. While we still have some stellar bottles from 2021–2023 on our shelves, the 2024s we’ve tasted so far have exceeded expectations across the board.
