91 pts. James Suckling:

"Cherries and dried flowers on the nose. The silky palate shows forest duff, woodsy spices, cherries, berries and licorice. Drink or hold."

This Pinot Noir hits all our happy spots! We love its lively spiciness combined with a myriad of fruit and earth flavors. A bit lighter-bodied than many Sta. Rita Hills Pinots, but not at all lacking in complexity! A great food-pairing Pinot. What a delightful wine! - Wine Factor
