Ratings & Reviews

92 Points - Wine Spectator:
Blood orange and morello cherry coulis notes show enticing succulence, while red tea and anise add range in the background. Offers good, sparkly energy through the finish. Drink now through 2031. 5,790 cases made.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
Absolutely charming berry-cherry aromas and flowers swirl on the nose of this Pinot. The palate delivers silky-smooth tannin and neatly balanced acidity, with flavors of concentrated cherry, raspberry, cedar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder that dance along the finish. — Tom R. Capo

90 Points - Vinous:
The 2023 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is floral, crunchy and brightly fruited. Brambly berries, pressed rose petal and subtle new leather tones lift a savory undercurrent of bitter spices and grilled herbs. Juicy and approachable, the 2023 is a fabulous entry-level interpretation of the Sonoma Coast.
