Tasting Notes

94 Vinous
The 2017 Pinot Noir Lolita Ranch is rich, sumptuous and quite forward, with plenty of Russian River intensity. Black cherry, game, licorice and leather give the wine much of its distinctive personality. In this range, the Lolita is a bit wild and animal, and is certainly not lacking in personality.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Pinot Noir Lolita Ranch has a pale to medium ruby-purple color and aromas of blueberry compote, cranberry sauce, black cherry preserves, bitter root, moss-covered bark and peppercorn—a nice interplay here of fruit and earth. Light to medium-bodied, it's broody and earthy in the mouth, with fine, grainy tannins and good freshness to lift the blueberry-tinged finish.
