Joey Tensley Fundamental Pinot Noir 2021 / 750 ml.

Item#: 60064

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 8th Dec 2022
Medium ruby, the 2021 Fundamental Pinot Noir has inviting aromas of cranberry sauce, orange peel, licorice and loads of amaro-like accents. Medium-bodied, it’s silky and refreshing with a deep core of berry fruit and a long, layered finish. This is a lovely Pinot Noir with a notable quality-to-price ratio! (Erin Brooks)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2023
The 2021 Pinot Noir (Central Coast) is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Succulent red cherry, red plum, spice, leather and tobacco are pushed forward. This racy Pinot is delicious, and a terrific value to boot. (Antonio Galloni)

Where It's From

Region / California

View more wines from California

When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).

Country / United States

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

This wine is youthful with sweet yellow plums, blackberry, brulleed orange rind, tangerine, green olives. There is this buoyancy in the mid-palate while the finish is dry and lingers. Perfect with Tombo Tuna or Nicoise Salad. (Tonya Pitts)

An overall balanced Pinot Noir, this offers notes of red and black cherries and plums, cinnamon and licorice. The palate has a good dose of acid, a moderate amount of tactile tannins and a solid finish. (Stacy Briscoe)

A youthful and saturated ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is ripe and spicy, with aromas of fresh pine, cherry liqueur, and fresh wildflowers. Medium to full-bodied, with ample richness on the palate, it reveals notes of ripe berries, turned forest floor, and toasted baking spice, and it has a classic feel, with good structure and a long finish. Drink it over the next few years. 15,000 cases were produced. (Audrey Frick)

The 2021 Red Wine is the sort of wine Joey Tensley excels with. Super ripe dark cherry, plum, licorice, cloves and mocha are all dialed up in this exuberant, fleshy Syrah/Grenache-based red. (Antonio Galloni)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Is fabulous. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, tobacco, cloves, leather, incense and chocolate are front and center. Succulent and explosive to the core, the Cabernet is outstanding. I seriously doubt there is another Cabernet in the United States that offers this much quality for the money. (Antonio Galloni)
JD8989 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 9/21/2023
Coming from multiple sites throughout the Central Coast, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a juicy, medium-bodied, nicely balanced style in its ripe cherry and plum fruit as well as notes of ripe herbs and chocolate. It’s a terrific value that brings plenty of classic Cabernet style and is perfect for drinking over the coming 2–4 years (probably longer, but why wait?). (Jeb Dunnuck)
