Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Pouring a youthful ruby red color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is generous on the nose with raspberry candies, pie spice, and floral perfume aromas. It's medium-bodied, with a silky texture and a rounded, fruity mid-palate that lasts through the finish with zesty spices. It's a charming wine to drink now or over the next 4-5 years. (Drink between 2025-2030)" -Audrey Frick (Jul 2025)

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Juicy raspberry, cherry and cocoa aromas waft on the nose of this Pinot while the palate delivers more salty plum, pithy orange peel and dusty cinnamon flavors with an earthy spiciness that dominates the finish and lingers." -Tom R. Capo (Nov 2025)

91 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Shows the warmth of the vintage in its up-front black cherry and blackberry compote notes, laced with mulling spice, dried anise and cinnamon accents. The fruit keeps good flesh and focus through the finish. For fans of the toasty style. Drink now through 2028. 2,789 cases made." -James Molesworth (Jun 2025)

90 Points - Vinous:
"Luscious dark fruit and oak spice lead the charge as the 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast rushes across the palate. Plush and generous in texture, the 2022 is not a particularly complex wine, but it's undeniably attractive in its unashamed New World stamp. The finish is long and persistent, reflecting a slightly heavy hand with oak but maintaining balance. (Drink between 2025-2030)" -Billy Norris (Jul 2025)
