97 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Silver Belt Vineyard Cuvée Natalie is stellar. Rich and explosive, the 2021 is bursting with inky red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, game, tobacco and incense. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. There's so much textural depth and textural richness here. My impression is that the best is yet to come. Drink: 2025-2033. (Jan 2024)"
96 points James Suckling: "Extremely aromatic and flavorful with blue fruits, tar and roses with some pumice. Iron shavings. Ripe forest floor. Strawberries, too. Full, linear and very tight with focused and polished tannins that have excellent length and precision. Needs three or four years to open. Try after 2025. (4/4/23)"
95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The deep ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Natalie Silver Belt Vineyard is ripe and inviting, with a potpourri of spice, red cherry, wild herbs, tea leaf, and a hint of incense. Medium to full-bodied, it has good structure, with ripe tannins, good acidity, and a lot of stemmy spices as well as turned earth and beetroot. Drink 2025-2035. (7/21/23)"
94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvée Natalie Silver Belt Vineyard has fragrant scents of red cherries, pomegranate and raspberries with nuances of forest floor, woodsmoke and charcuterie. The medium-bodied palate features alluringly crunchy, earth-laced fruit supported by velvety tannins, vibrant acidity to balance its density of fruit and a long, layered, spicy finish. This irresistible Pinot Noir will certainly age, but there's no reason to wait! Drink: 2024-2035. (12/14/23)"
