93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Fermented with 10% stems and aged 18 months in 15% new French oak, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast has a pretty bouquet of tart cherry and strawberry fruits as well as a distinctly floral character, notes of underbrush and orange blossom, medium to full body, a beautifully pure texture, and a great finish. It's a richer, powerful Pinot Noir that still stays remarkably elegant and pure, with good acidity, polished tannins, and again, a great finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It needs air to show at its best and is a beautiful, outstanding 2018 Pinot Noir that will drink well for a solid 8-10 years. Drink: 2020-2030. (7/29/20)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is another superb wine in this range. It captures all the exuberance of the year in its forward, boisterous personality. Juicy dark cherry, plum, new leather, licorice and spice are amplified in this creamy, sensual Pinot from Gros Ventre. Vineyard sites are Campbell and Baranoff. Drink: 2021-2023. (Jan 2021)"
90 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "Pale ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast offers blackberries and blood orange with accents of graphite, licorice and dusty earth. The palate is light-bodied, firm and very juicy with lots of spicy accents on the finish. 152 cases produced. Drink: 2020-2024. (Sep 2020)"
