99 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lastly, the 2021 Pinot Noir Machado is similarly darker ruby and translucently hued and offers up a smorgasbord-like array of red and black berries, smoked herbs, underbrush, and gamey, foresty, marine-like nuances. Flawlessly balanced, deep, rich, and textured, it has an awesome mid-palate, integrated tannins, and heavenly finish. This incredible Pinot Noir stopped me in my tracks and might be the finest I've tasted from Brewer. It can be drunk any time over the coming 10-15 years. Drink: 2023-2038. (8/30/23)"

95 points Wine Spectator: "[$86 list] This sports some gorgeous fruit, with damson plum, griotte and blood orange pâte de fruit driving along a silky, refined structure, while rooibos tea, sandalwood, singed anise and savory details underscore the long, lilting finish. Drink now through 2031. 586 cases made. (2023)"

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Machado opens with a good burst of fruit, but then loses much of that intensity on the mid palate and finish. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and crushed rocks. This soft, very pretty Pinot Noir offers good depth in the understated style of the year. Drink 2024-2033 (Sep 2023)."
