97 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Ryan has a medium ruby color and autumnal scents of truffle and forest floor, cinnamon and Earl Grey tea leaves complementing a core of wild berry fruit. (In 2021, the wine comes from the Dutton-Jentoft and Widdoes vineyards rather than 100% from Jentoft as in previous vintages.) The medium-bodied palate is supple and detailed with a concentrated core of mineral-driven fruit. It has a silky texture, energetic acidity and a long, layered finish. This is so delicious and very easy to drink! Drink: 2024-2034. (Jun 2023)"
96 points Wine Enthusiast: "This exciting wine offers intricate and complex aromas, a lively but ripe palate of red cherries and raspberries and a zingy texture of great acidity and integrated tannins. Everything from wild blackberries to sage to black tea comes up in the aroma, lasting through the palate and into the lingering finish. Best through 2033. (Oct 2023)"
95 points James Suckling: "Plenty of spice on the nose with cloves, white pepper and nutmeg, but then it changes to hibiscus, raspberry and freshly cut white-topped strawberries. Medium body. Tangy at the end. Energy is there. Mostly Martini clone. Better give this until 2026. (4/4/23)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Ryan is plump, juicy and ready to go. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and cedar are front and center. This effusive, plush Pinot offers plenty of charm. The 2022 is a blend of 56% from Widdoes Vineyard and 44% from the Swan Clone portion of Dutton-Jentoft. Drink: 2025-2036. (Jan 2024)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "This marries the typically punchy plum and cherry fruit of Russian River Valley with sleek singed apple wood and incense hints, along with a mouthwatering savory note underneath. Stays fresh and defined through the finish. Drink now through 2030. 1,200 cases made. (9/30/23)"
