95 points Jim Gordon (JamesSuckling.com): "A classic, distinctive and compelling red. So leafy, floral and tea-like in aromas, then fresh, concentrated and generous on the palate, offering red cherries, sour cherries, black tea, bay leaves and blueberries backed by vibrant acidity and light tannins. Drink now or hold. (6/10/25)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Bursts with juicy raspberry, mulberry and bitter cherry coulis flavors that stretch out lengthily, plus savory, red tea and rose petal notes that add energy and range. Shows a snap of red licorice and a singed apple wood frame on the finish while keeping its energy up. Best from 2026 through 2036. (9/30/25)"
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "This fresh and energetic Pinot brings spicy aromas of black cherry, plum skin and cinnamon on the nose, while the palate displays earthy richness, with tart berry fruit and notions of cocoa powder, clove and rose petal lifting the finish. Alcohol 14.1%. (Oct 2024)"
94 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2023 Pinot Noir Wester Reach boasts a bright red hue and opens with a spicy, fresh nose that carries a cool-climate edge. Ripe cranberries, lifted spices, fresh roses, and piney herbs lead the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied and compact on the palate, with a refreshing line of acidity, fine tannins, and a weightless texture. The finish is long and laced with elegant spice. Drink: 2025-2037. (Jul 2025)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2023 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is soft, fruity and easygoing, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years or more. Soft contours wrap around a core of red/purplish fruit, sweet spice and flowers. There's lovely immediacy and succulence here. Bright acids pull it all together. Delicious. Drink: 2025-2030. (Jan 2025)"
