97 points James Suckling: "A great wine from a great vineyard that showcases the winery's current approach to leaner, fresher wines. Beautiful floral, spicy and sultry fruit flavors make an irresistible combination. It's full-bodied and elegantly balanced. Focused black cherries, sour cherries, black tea and star anise build on the palate and linger in the finish. (11/7/24)"
95 points Virginie Boone (JebDunnuck.com): " Structured and substantial in earthy, forested notes, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is made from a selection of multiple clones, 6% whole-cluster fermented in stainless steel, concrete, and oak, and aged in new French and Austrian oak for 18 months. Subtle layers of crisp red fruit adorn a palate of underlying elegance beneath a graceful layering of chalky tannins and floral aromatics. Drink: 2025-2041. (2/21/25)"
93 points Clive Pursehouse (Decanter): "This wine comes from the Cerise Vineyard above Boonville, where Pinot Noir can ripen a bit more. While remaining floral and mineral, it offers plenty of ripe fruits in the aromatics. On the fruit-dominant palate, cherries are lifted by notes of blood orange and mountain herbs, providing a savoury balance to the fruit-driven core. Drinking Window: 2024-2032. (9/23/24)"
92 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is super spicy: Red Hots cinnamon candy, aniseed and Angostura bitters complement a core of red and black cherries and violet. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated fruit with velvety tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar. Drink: 2025-2032. (Oct 2024)"
