Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine: 
"Like any good extrovert, this medium-bodied wine gets right in your face with briary blackcap raspberry, lavender, vanilla bean and cedar aromas. Cranberry and red raspberry flavors are joined by black tea and citrus. A creamy texture, with plush tannins and gentle acidity." 

91 Points - Vinous
"A rich blend of mocha, brown spice and balsamic-tinged black cherries forms a dark and nearly medicinal bouquet as the 2019 Pinot Noir Extrovert smolders up from the glass. This sweeps across the palate with silken textures, nearly creamy in feel, as hints of sour citrus accelerate ripe red berry fruits. This finishes with admirable length and a coating of sweet tannins as a resonance of violet florals lingers. From palate to finish, I truly enjoy the Extrovert, yet its bouquet gives me pause, showing very little in the way of varietal character. That said, this wine will have its fans."
