92+ points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$65 list] The 2016 Pinot Noir Rita's Crown Vineyard emerges from the upper blocks of this site, where the vines struggle to ripen. Translucent and highly expressive, the 2016 delivers serious intensity in a deceptively mid-weight style. The 33% whole clusters are not especially evident. Ripe red berry fruit, rose petal, mint and licorice notes build into the beautifully layered finish. What a gorgeous wine this is. Drink: 2019-2026. (Sep 2018)"
