Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2021 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley, matured for 13 months in 38% new French oak, takes some time to shake off its cedary new oak and reveal red cherry, pipe tobacco and garrigue. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with concentrated, spicy fruit, and it has a long finish laced with baking spices.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
A broad, rich style, with boysenberry and blackberry puree notes cruising along, laced with fresh pine forest, anise and black tea notes that blossom through the toasty finish.
