Tasting Notes

93 James Suckling
A beautiful pinot that shows freshness and sophistication with aromas of blueberries, dark plums and hints of tangerines. I like the texture here. It has full body, polished tannins and a fresh and elegantly fine finish.

92 Wine Spectator
Shows precision and presence, with refined raspberry, black tea and forest floor accents that take on richness toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2025.

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium ruby, the 2016 Pinot Noir has a nose of spiced cranberry sauce, blackberry jam, loamy earth, cinnamon stick and red berry notes with touches of autumn leaves and licorice. Medium-bodied, it gives up loads of ripe, spiced fruits with a soft, grainy frame and juicy freshness, finishing long.

91 Wine Enthusiast
Most appealing right out of the bottle, this is absolutely loaded with sweet berries that burst from the glass. A seam of mocha permeates the fruit, with well-tempered herbal influences adding further complexity. It spent just 10 months in 29% new oak, and it’s good to go right away
