No emails to show that my delivery has arrived. Also, had to send a couple of emails to get a response to a question. Overall, good inventory and cheap shipping.

I love B‑21 ‑ 10 stars! I don’t like that UPS is the delivery provider. I am usually never home when UPS attempts to deliver and changing the delivery has a cost associated with it, and sometime their site is difficult to navigate. This is never my experience with FedEx. It isn’t the UPS driver, the driver for my route is great. It is the UPS organization’s process.

We use several different Online wine retailers but B‑21 was new to us. We were looking for a very specific Australian wine and a specific vintage. B‑21 had what we were searching for at an excellent price. Ordered six bottles which were delivered 6 days after order confirmation. Excellent customer service and communication. We will definitely be ordering more wines from B‑21.

I very much like the convenience of B‑21's service. One complaint is that it takes longer than I am used to with other online retailers to get a confirmation, which resulted in my placing a "double order" on my recent purchase. From now on I will know to be patient.

2021 Substance Pinot Noir (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Columbia, Washington State

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Crafted by pioneering Washington state vintner Charles Smith, the appealing 90 pt. 2021 Substance Pinot Noir reveals spiced, intense red fruit with bright acidity and a smooth, satin texture, a unique and easy drinking Columbia Valley Pinot Noir from a Wine Enthusiast Winemaker of the Year that’s bargain priced for everyday enjoyment.

Known as a freewheeling rock and roller with a savvy business sense, Charles Smith is a legend of the Washington wine scene with over two decades in the region, selling his first single varietal wines out of the back of his Astro van and creating the Wines of Substance series in 2015 to produce a range of meticulously crafted, value-driven wines. Based in a state known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, Smith and winemaker Brennon Leighton were undeterred by Washington’s underwhelming reputation for growing Pinot Noir, their search for prime Pinot terroir leading to a cooler site along the Columbia River within the Royal Slope AVA that Smith named the Golden West Vineyard, located between the Wahluke Slope and Ancient Lakes AVAs in northern Columbia Valley. First contracting to plant 35 acres and now with over 373 acres (the state’s largest planting of Pinot Noir), Smith sourced 85% of the grapes for the 2021 Substance Pinot from the sustainably farmed Golden West, its location at 1,600 feet above sea level overlooking the Columbia River at the same latitude as Burgundy’s Pommard in a mix of limestone, volcanic and sandy soils, and 15% from the Evergreen Vineyard, a cooler site along a stretch of steep cliffs above the Columbia River that adds minerality and balanced acidity. Produced in a warm Columbia Valley vintage with an extended ripening season that enhanced flavor and concentration, the fresh and juicy 2021 Substance Pinot Noir was fermented with native yeasts before aging for 10 months on the lees in 5% new French oak, yielding a flavorful Pinot with earthy cherry flavors and lively minerality described as “incredibly charming” by Jeb Dunnuck and summed up as “very easy to like” by Eric Guido of Vinous.

Describing the Golden West planting as his “legacy project” to the Wine Spectator’s Tim Fish, Smith declared “I want to be known as the guy who brought Pinot to Washington state,” his impressive 90 pt. 2021 Substance Pinot Noir leading the way, a delicious, well-crafted Pinot affordably priced to enjoy often from a maverick of Washington wine.

The 2021 Pinot Noir PN is spicy and earthy in the glass, reminding me more of food than wine, with notes of savory herbs, tomato leaf and cherry sauce forming its bouquet. This is round and pliant on the palate with ripe red and black fruits that soothe, as sweet inner herbal tones form toward the close. It leaves a pleasant staining of round tannins, as rosy inner florals slowly fade. This is a unique style of Pinot Noir from Washington State, but one that's very easy to like.

90 points, Eric Guido, Vinous (Mar 2023)

A pretty pinot with sour cherries, strawberries and a fine herbal edge. Juicy, medium-bodied palate delivers some light cherry and red berries on the palate. Crunchy and concise with lots of fruit at the end. Drink now.

90 points, James Suckling (Feb 2023)
