94 points James Suckling: "Lively and charming with rose hips and crushed violets, this pulses along with energetic flavors of mouthwatering raspberries and mixed cherries. A low-level hum of tilled earth and spices extends through the finish. Generous and so friendly. Drink or hold. (Aug 2025)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Wild and classic Sta. Rita Hills red fruits, sassafras, rose, and sappy herb aromas and flavors all define the 2023 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, which was destemmed and comes from a mix of sites throughout the appellation. Medium-bodied, fresh, and focused, it offers ripe fruit and a round, supple mouthfeel supported by rock-solid acidity. It’s beautifully done and a textbook example of this terrific region. Drink 2025-2035. (Sep 2025)"
91 points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "Based around Fiddlestix, Radian and La Rinconada, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills includes several vineyards that span the region and were entirely determined. A deep, dark bouquet of black cherries, black tea and turned earth is followed by a silky, rich palate that maintains vibrant energy and a gentle elasticity through the savory, earth-tinged finish. Drink 2025-2031 (Nov 2025)"
