96 points Billy Norris (Vinous): "The 2023 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is open and generous but also seriously structured, with ultra-refined chalky tannins and stunning purity of fruit. Crushed rocks, iron, chaparral herbs and floral tones deepen Rosella’s usual red-fruit-driven personality. This is a beautifully elegant Pinot Noir, with such a deep, soulful character and a nod to old-school structure that I find wildly appealing. Bravo. Drink: 2025-2038. (Jul 2025)"
96 points Virginie Boone (JebDunnuck.com): "Floral and pretty on the nose, the 2023 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is a beautiful wine, with a strength of grippy tannin that will unfurl well over time. Purple plum, gravelly wet stone, and even a hint of sea spray give it an intriguing mid-palate of medium-bodied richness and girth, finishing with abundant freshness and grace. Enjoy best 2026-2033. (Apr 2025)"
96 points Jim Gordon (JamesSuckling.com): "So luscious, layered and elegant but firm. This starts out fragrant, floral, ripe and generous on the nose, with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries, then darker fruit like black cherries and plums on the palate. All are buoyed by good acidity and firm tannins in this full-bodied, mouth-filling and age-worthy wine. Matured in 78% new French oak. Drinkable now, but best from 2030. Screw cap. (1/9/25)"
96 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Palate): "Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2023 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir needs a little shaking to wake up notes of black raspberries and pomegranate, opening out to fragrant nuances of lilacs, underbrush, and Darjeeling tea. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers tightly wound blackberry and earthy layers, supported by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally. Drink 2025-2035 (Jun 2025)"
95 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$98 list] A dark hue in the glass, this single-vineyard expression by Pinot Noir specialist Adam Lee offers joyously ripe aromas of boysenberry, wild mint and cocoa on the lush nose. The palate is bright with acidity that cuts deeply through the dark strawberry, boysenberry, pepper and lavender flavors. Alcohol 14.1%. (Mar 2025)"
