Hello Berserkers! It is great to be back on Berserker Day. We are so excited to share our 2021 vintage wines with you on this special day. We also have a smattering of library wines, back by popular demand.
A word about the 2021 vintage. Great vintage. So good that we decided to create a new Flagship PN blend, simply called Red Electric (clever, right?), and it is a sexy, complex and strong wine.
As a reminder, all of our grapes are sourced from our estate organic and dry-farmed Armstrong Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA of the Willamette Valley. Visit us at the vineyard or winery!

Here is Paul Greguttâs review of our 2021 vintage (other criticâs reviews below):
Red Electric 2021 Armstrong Vineyard TGV Pinot Noir â A barrel selection reserve, this resonant, intensely-flavorful wine perfectly captures the essence of the AVA. A streak of minerality underscores tight blue and black fruits. Tannins are firm and ripe but not flagrant. The barrel management (one quarter new, 15% one year) is superb. This is compact, layered, beautifully balanced and ready for long term aging. I canât say enough about this wine â itâs a splendid example of an excellent vintage from an AVA that many believe is the star of the Willamette Valley. 100 cases; 13.8%; $70 (Ribbon Ridge) 95/100
Red Electric 2021 Armstrong Vineyard Pinot Noir â This multi-clone blend covers all blocks from the vineyard. The use of non-neutral oak is restrained (15% new, 10% one-year) and the fruit flavors start out light and pretty. Rose petals, strawberries and tart pie cherries are in the mix, with supporting acidity. The length is impressive, and the wine seems to gather strength and detail as it layers on out through the finish. Give this one extra aeration and it builds nicely, strengthening the tannins and finishing with highlights of toasted walnuts and coffee grounds. A very fine value in an all-estate Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir. 900 cases; 13.7%; $35 (Ribbon Ridge) 93/100
Red Electric 2021 Evening Primrose Chardonnay â A friendly butter cookie note highlights this sleek Chardonnay. All from the estate vineyard, itâs a clonal mix, co-fermented in neutral French oak barrels. Itâs got excellent grip and focus, with the sort of precision that suggests it will age gracefully. Crisp apple, lemon custard, grapefruit and pineapple flavors push on through a medium-long finish. 75 cases; 13.8%; $35 (Ribbon Ridge) 92/100
