93 points & 'Editors' Choice' Wine Enthusiast: "This appellation cuvée is very satisfying and slightly more affordable than this historic brand's single-vineyard blends. Aromas of black raspberry, toasted curry leaf and sagebrush make for a fascinating nose. The palate snaps with fresh pomegranate and strawberry flavors, as hints of damp soil maintain balance. (Jul 2024)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The appellation 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley is a beauty as well as a brilliant value. Wild strawberries, framboise, dried flowers, and spice all emerge from this graceful, medium-bodied, elegant Pinot Noir that has tons of character. Destemmed and brought up in neutral oak, drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2023-2029 (Aug 2023)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "A lively red, showing light-bodied kirsch, cherry and raspberry notes laced with subtle potpourri and iris hints, offering a nice, streamlined feel. Drink now through 2030. (Sep 2024)"
