James Suckling93 pts

A distinctive earthy, meaty streak gives extra interest and personality to this medium-bodied and moderately tannic wine made from California heritage clones. From the steepest part of this coastal vineyard, the grapes give up red cherries, cranberries, orange tea, beef jus and floral notes that are complex and compelling. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast92 pts

This richly structured coastal Pinot displays aromas of roasted cherry, raspberry liqueur and cedar on the nose. The palate brings layers of barrel spice and earth in a concentrated framework. This wine is built for aging, so give it a bit of time in the cellar and enjoy with hearty fare.

Hold

Windy weather during blooming led to a small crop set, then warm dry conditions ripened everything evenly. Small berries and thick skins produced wines of concentration, structure, freshness and purity
