"Moving to the reds, the 2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast comes from a mix of the single vineyard releases and spent 18 months in just 20% new French oak. Awesome notes of kirsch, wild strawberries, toasted spice, and flowery incense all emerge from the glass, and this beauty is supple, medium to full-bodied, and seamless on the palate. While it's a big wine, it stays beautifully balanced and elegant.”

"The 2017 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a pretty, open-knit wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet tobacco, cedar, exotic spice, earthiness, mint, dried flowers and dried cherry all open up in the glass. There is plenty of depth, but I would prefer to drink the 2017 sooner rather than later. - Antonio Galloni”

"Offers mouthfilling richness, with burnished flavors of dried cherry, berry and hot stone, backed by fresh acidity and tannins. Smoky accents show on the mineral- and spice-filled finish. Drink now through 2025.—K.M.”
