Lytle-Barnett

It has now been roughly a year since I have reviewed one of the outstanding Oregon producers of sparkling wine. Lytle-Barnett has offered some really impressive wines since I first tasted them back in 2020. Lytle-Barnett utilizes talent across the globe as they have commissioned sparkling wine Oregonian Andrew Davis, as well as South Africa’s sparkling winemaker Pieter Ferreirain making their méthode champenoise wines.

They command a fairly high price at around 75 dollars but they have been worth the splurge.  Sine I first tried these wines I have had other colleagues review the wines similarly. These wines have extended time in tirage before being released which adds to the complexity. I love the new 2018 Lytle-Barnett ‘Blanc de Noirs’ Sparkling Wine (OB, 93) which is unabashedly big from this warm vintage. The combination of weight and finesse is really outstanding here.

Learn more at https://lytle-barnett.com/ and here are my reviews of the great new Lytle-Barnett wines.

2018 Lytle-Barnett ‘Blanc de Noirs’ Sparkling Wine- This 2018 ‘Blanc de Noirs’ saw extended tirage and was sourced from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Green melon and biscuit notes combine with suggestions of nectarine rind on the nose. The palate is beautifully textured with good weight and finesse. Showing the warmth of the vintage, this very rich and gratifying Pinot Noir sparking wine will be sure to hold well over the next eight to ten years. Drink 2022-2030- 93

2017 Lytle-Barnett ‘Blanc de Blancs’ Sparkling Wine- The outstanding 2017 Lytle-Barnett ‘Blanc de Blancs’ Sparkling Wine offers kumquat zest, wet stone and copious minerals on the palate, with Gravenstein apple tones. Fresh, with a soft mousse and beautiful length, this is great sparkling wine to savor now and over the next eight years. Drink 2022-2030- 92
