wine enthusiast 92 pts"This full-bodied but far from heavy wine has wonderful aromatic complexity, evoking Bing cherries, black tea, clove and pine forest, while the flavors gush with red cherry and rhubarb. The slightly lean and crisp balance combines with bright and layered flavors in an appealing way. Best through 2020. - Jim Gordon"

vinous logo 250"Brilliant ruby-red. High-pitched red fruits and Asian spices on the perfumed nose. Silky in texture and nicely concentrated, offering fresh, spice-tinged raspberry and cherry compote flavors and a kick of dusty minerality. Finishes with echoing spiciness, lingering minerality and very suave tannins.- Josh Raynolds"

wine enthusiast 92 pts"You'll find fantastically ripe black and red cherry, cola, licorice, tobacco and spice flavors in this dry, medium-bodied Pinot. But it's not really drinkable now because the tannins are too tough. Grown in one of the region's most celebrated vineyards, it needs until 2019 or 2020 to begin its aging curve. — S.H."

wine spectator 90 pts"Shows generous, up-front fruitiness, with plum, black cherry and raspberry notes. Turns delicate and graceful on the finish, accented by wilted rose details. Drink now through 2022. 400 cases made. –JL"
