94 points PinotReport: "Medium ruby color; complex, harmonious plum, cherry and red raspberry aromas with underlying earth and floral notes; complex and ripe plum and cherry flavors with creamy notes silky and weightless texture; good structure and balance; long finish. Silky, balanced Pinot with elegance and great structure. 549 cases made. (9/15/15)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "This generous red offers ripe plum, raspberry and wild berry flavors, with hints of crushed rock, wilted rose, fresh-cut herbs and a measure of creamy, vanilla-tinged oak. The tannins are well-integrated. 549 cases made. (8/31/15)"
93 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "Nuance may not be this riveting Pinot's strength but deep and wonderfully generous fruit is, and there is no end to the wine's tireless sense of richness at any point. It is full and fleshy with show-stopping concentration and depth, and, although about as big as good Pinot Noir wants to be, it is balanced and uncannily well-structured giving lie to the notion that big cannot be beautiful. Its lavish, decidedly opulent style will prove to be too much of a good thing with lighter foods, but it will make a most memorable foil to savory lamb shanks or a classic Boeuf Bourguignon. (Oct 2015)"
Producer notes: "Aromatics: Black cherry and ruby red grapefruit with notes of fl int, strawberry and demure hint of rose petal. On the Palate: Rich, ripe strawberry are prominent on the palate, and are well accented by traces of fennel and candied citrus peel. The lingering fi nish is herbaceous, fl oral, and elegant. 100% de-stemmed. Barrel aged 15 months in French oak (46% new). Alcohol 14.6%."
