Wine Spectator95 pts

A lovely wine, with a silky texture and elegantly multilayered raspberry and blueberry flavors highlighted by garrigue, crushed stone and forest floor accents as this builds richness and tension toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2031. 670 cases made.

Jeb Dunnuck94 pts

A youthful rich ruby/magenta color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Anahata Vineyard was raised in 30% new French oak for 18 months and is expressive with ripe and pure aromas of kirsch, raspberry liqueur, candied flowers, sweet herbs, and baking spice. It continues seamlessly to the palate, with a refined feel all the way through. A fantastic wine with a lot of purity, it’s going to have a wide window for enjoyment over the next 10-15 years.

James Suckling92 pts

A silky, caressing and elegant pinot with notes of strawberries, red currants, smoke and sweet spices such as nutmeg. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and silky tannins. Bright fruit and a succulent finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast92 pts

Walking in a garden after a soaking rain smells earthy, floral and calming. This wine's aromatics are similar to that walk, with notes of boysenberries, violets, pansies and a touch of maple-cured bacon. The wine's crisp texture and silky tannins support flavors of blackberry pie, sage and coffee.

Intense June heat spike failed to dampen an otherwise excellent vintage; Pinots are perfumed, fresh and vibrant
