This was made before Faiveley took over in 2021 and started a new chapter at this ground-breaking estate. Jewel-sweet on the nose with a hint of oak. A bit chunky rather than really refined. (JR)

Medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Lewis MacGregor Estate Vineyard has a wonderful nose of fruit preserves: raspberry, red cherry and blueberry with dried cranberry, warm cinnamon stick, dried bark, orange peel and rose petal perfume. Light to medium-bodied, it explodes with intense ripe fruits, spices and earth notions, held in check by a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and lifted by mouthwatering acidity, finishing amazingly long and layered. (EB)
A deft dollop of oak can be found on the exuberantly spicy and fresh nose that offers up notes of dark cherry, raspberry, violet and a hint of sandalwood. The focused, intense and delicious middle weight flavors possess fine verve if not quite the same concentration, all wrapped in a compact, dusty and robust finish that flirts with rusticity. *Outstanding*
The 2016 Pinot Noir Lewis MacGregor Vineyard is terrific. Dark and imposing in its first impression, the 2016 remains light on its feet, which provides a welcome contrast to the darkish flavors. Hints of spice, lavender, rose petal and mint add striking aromatics to this complete, alluring Pinot Noir from Williams Selyem. (AG)
