"Light, bright red. Pungent aromas of red and dark berries, with cola and anise accents adding complexity. Juicy and light on its feet, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a hint of vanilla. Finishes tangy and long, with very good focus and cut."

"Bright, clean, crisply rendered raspberry fruit—nicely spiced—really shines here. This relatively modestly priced cuvée carries itself with style and elegance, still young, tight and tart, with plenty of medium-term aging potential."

"Smooth and inviting, floating the dark berry, plum and spice flavors over an open texture, lingering intensely and gracefully against modest tannins. Drink now through 2019. 1,450 cases made.–HS"

"Pale red. Lively, sharply focused aromas of redcurrant and strawberry accented by white pepper and orange zest. Refreshingly brisk and racy on the palate, with weightless bitter cherry and red berry flavors taking a sweeter turn on the back half. This distinctly graceful Pinot finishes with very good lift and spicy cut, leaving berry skin and allspice notes behind."

"Light lurid red. Fresh, energetic and incisive on the highly perfumed, spice- and mineral-accented nose. In a nervy, graceful style, offering gently sweet raspberry and floral pastille flavors that show very good concentration yet no obvious weight. Silky tannins sneak in late on the clinging finish, which leaves hints of white pepper and red fruit preserves behind. This graceful, entry-level Pinot delivers outstanding value. (aged for 10 months in 10% new French oak). - Josh Raynolds"
