96 points James Suckling: "Intense black mushroom, earth and blackberry. Some dried strawberry, too. Full-bodied, but very tight and reserved. The palate shows lots of blue fruit with blackberries and hints of dark chocolate. Linear and racy. Gorgeous now, but holding back. Try after 2022. (5/23/21)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards Pastorale Vineyard is bright and punchy in the glass. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, spice and sweet pipe tobacco give the 2019 its bold, up-front personality. The 2019 beautifully balances fruit and structure. Drink it over the next decade or so. Drink: 2024-2034. (Jan 2021)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$95 list] A fresh, floral style, with a mix of rose petal, cherry pit, damson plum and sandalwood accents that knit tightly through a racy, savory-edged finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,180 cases made. (9/30/22)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Pastorale Vineyard leads more with its fruit, yet still has plenty of spice, dried orange, and black tea aromas and flavors. With medium-bodied richness, light, elegant tannins, integrated acidity, and a good finish, it's already drinking nicely yet will cruise for 5-7 years. Drink: 2021-2028. (7/22/21)"
