I have placed a number of orders for wine with B‑21. Could not be happier with the process. Selection is very nice and comprehensive. I have called their support line re delivery of a pre‑order and was very pleased with their level of support in delivering wine around a time period when traveling and\or not available to take receipt. Overall, I extremely pleased.

Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2022 Walter Scott Cuvee Ruth Pinot Noir (750ml)

Pinot Noir from Willamette, Oregon

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Crafted in a Burgundian style expressing “purity, minerality and depth of fruit” according to Eric Guido of Vinous, these top scoring 2022 selections from cult favorite Willamette Valley winery Walter Scott are not to be missed by fans of Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a range of exceptional 2022’s declared “wildly successful” by critic Guido and all boasting complexity built for a decade or more of evolution.

Founded by Erica Landon and Ken Pahlow in the Eola-Amity Hills, Walter Scott was named to honor Ken’s late grandfather and nephew, producing its first vintage in 2009 at Patricia Green Cellars and moving the operation over to Evening Land Vineyards where Ken went to work in sales and in the cellar under the tutelage of Dominique Lafon. Now produced in a small winery leased from the Casteel family of Bethel Heights Winery, Walter Scott continues “to raise the bar across their portfolio” according to Jeb Dunnuck critic Audrey Frick, “producing exceptional wines with purity and balance” and sourcing their wines from some of region’s top Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards. Produced from four vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills, the bright 94 pt. 2022 Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot Noir offers pure, earthy fruit “back by juicy acidity and silky tannins” according to the Wine Enthusiast’s Michael Alberty, calling the entry level offering a “great buy.” A cellar selection bridging the gap between the La Combe Verte and the single vineyard cuvees, the fresh and vibrant 94 pt. 2022 Walter Scott Cuvee Ruth Pinot Noir boasts “ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity” according to Eric Guido of Vinous, describing it as “wonderfully complex and refined, making it a fantastic value.” From the iconic vineyard located in the new Mount Pisgah Polk County AVA, the dark fruited and intense 97 pt. 2022 Walter Scott Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir is “silky and fresh” according to the Wine Advocate’s Erin Brooks with rich, velvety tannins on a palate that’s “seamless yet powerful.” Boasting “masses of ripe orchard fruits and salty minerals,” Eric Guido of Vinous calls the 95 pt. 2022 Walter Scott Justice Vineyard Chardonnay “a beast of a wine" boasting a silky texture and substantial depth. The elegant 94 pt. 2022 Walter Scott Justice Vineyard Pinot Noir is “a wine of intense brilliance” according to Decanter’s Clive Pursehouse with layers of velvety tannins that will “undoubtedly transform beautifully over time."

From their benchmark Chardonnays that are “easily some of the best examples I have tasted” according to critic Eric Guido to their “pretty amazing” Pinots, these 2022 Walter Scott selections are well priced for their loyal fans to stock up as well as lovers of Oregon wines looking to explore this exceptional portfolio – echoing Vinous critic Neal Martin who counts Walter Scott among his great discoveries, “If you have not tried these wines yet, do yourself a favor."

The 2022 Pinot Noir Cuvée Ruth is sourced from several vineyards planted on volcanic soils, including Justice, Koosah, Sojeau, Temperance Hill, Witness Tree, Bracken and X Novo. A 5% dash of whole bunches was used and the wine matured for 10 months in 30% new French oak. It will require some time in a decanter for its initial flinty reduction to give way to strawberry, raspberry, blood orange, licorice, lavender and spices. The light-bodied palate is punctuated by bright pops of juicy, perfumed fruit and citrusy top notes. It has very fine, tea-textured tannins, shimmery acidity and a long, layered finish. 825 cases were made.

94 points, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate (Feb 2024)

Cuvée Ruth is an Eola-Amity bottling to show the capacity of the Willamette Valley region to produce classic Pinot Noir. Fruit from several sites includes local ‘grand cru’ vineyards like Temperance Hill and X Novo. The clarity of red fruit is impressive, and aromas of wild lavender and alpine herbs meld with bright raspberry and cranberry notes. The palate leans heavily into freshness. Savoury chicory root notes and glinty minerality frame a canvas of wild red and blue berry fruits, all accented with a kiss of fresh wintergreen that lifts the finish.

94 points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter (Feb 2024)

This cuvée comprised of fruit from some of the top vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills packs a pretty perfume of ripe red raspberries and a wee bit of blueberry fruit leather and talc. A darker raspberry flavor prevails on the palate, along with bursts of orange zest, green tea and that classic Walter Scott acidity.

93 points, Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast (Jul 2024)

Darkly alluring and intense from the first tilt of the glass, the 2022 Pinot Noir Cuvée Ruth wafts up with a bouquet of dusty rose and ashen stones, giving way to lavender-laced blackberries and spice. This is wonderfully soft and round with ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity that maintains liveliness throughout. The slightest tug of fine tannin remains, along with hints of tart cranberry and orange zest, as the 2022 finishes staining and long yet still fresh. The Cuvée Ruth is wonderfully complex and refined, making it a fantastic value.
