James Suckling: 93 Points
"This has good depth, handy structure and elegance. Aromas of red cherries and raspberries with hints of wild red flowers, leading to a linear, crunchy palate with handy balance and depth. Some fresh baking spices to close."
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
"This is an attractive, multi-faceted Pinot Noir that beautifully balances fruit and funk. Aromas of wet earth and barnyard are quickly followed by bright cherries, raspberries, flowers and herbs. These characters follow through on the palate, wrapped in tight-grained, sandy tannins and a sappy woodiness. Still youthful, you could drink this now with food but it should really blossom over the next eight years. Drink through 2026."
Wine Spectator
Shows purity to the raspberry coulis and maraschino cherry flavors. Accents of spice and herb give this some depth. The plush texture and lingering details add more interest. Drink now through 2034.
