93 points Decanter: "This is an excellent Pinot Gris from one of the region’s standard-bearers. Made with 100% estate fruit that was whole-cluster-pressed into stainless steel tanks, the straw-coloured wine smells like white peaches and toasted coconut. Pear and peach flavours are joined by hazelnuts on the rich, full palate. The wine’s zippy acidity is like a surprise ending to a movie. Drinking Window: 2022-2030. (Apr 2022)"
91 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Gris is highly perfumed, with scents of lemon verbena, lemongrass, green pear and peach with honey-nut undertones. The light-bodied palate is fresh and inviting, with gregarious fruit enhanced by four grams of residual sugar, and it has a long, gently leesy finish. This is so easy to drink! Drink: 2023-2025. (5/18/23)"
90 points Tim Fish (Wine Spectator): "[$22 list] Luscious yet crisp and refreshing, with lively apricot, fresh fig and spice flavors that finish on a polished note. Drink now. (9/30/22)"
90 points Sean P. Sullivan (Wine Enthusiast): "The aromas start out light, with notes of herb, pear, star fruit and other tropical fruits. Broad-feeling flavors follow, showing depth and layering. There's pleasing balance to it all. (Aug/Sep 2022)"
Producer notes: "[$22 list] Our most popular white wine is rich and vibrant, with great texture and mouthfeel. An expressive nose of nectarine, white flower and candied orange peel introduces this expansive, crisp wine with fresh flavors of fig, white cherry, and cantaloupe alongside an orange peel pithiness, ginger and lemon thyme. Alcohol 13.0%."
