96 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This marvelous bottling is a barrel selection of the best lots from the Le Puits Sec vineyard. Initial impressions include smoky notes of black plum and a bit of mint. The overall impact is a bit fatter and lusher than most of the Evesham Wood offerings. Although the Francois Freres cooperage leaves its spicy imprint, Oak aging is relatively restrained (25 - 30% new). This wine is marvelously ripe and concentrated and should show best with a few years of age. Drinking Window: 2021-2031. (Jul 2021)"

Producer notes: "[$55 list] One of the greatest characteristics Russ finds in our proprietary yeast that he “isolated” from a bottle of 1986 Jayer Echezeaux is the velvety texture it imparts on the wines. While we use that yeast in every Pinot Noir we make, the texture it imparts is particularly notable in this wine. The 6 barrels selected from Le Puits Sec display a beautiful balance of elegance while also concentration and power. Bright berries, plum and sage with hints of toasty oak with great length on the finish. Certified organically grown. 145 cases produced."
