93 points Wine Spectator: "Delivers a pure, focused core of wild berry, raspberry, gravel, anise, dried herb and savory notes that are pleasantly tannic. The fruit pushes through in the end, finishing in a juicy, mouthwatering manner. (6/3/15)"
93 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "Harvest from September 10th to October 10th, the 2013 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a sexy, supple and textured effort that has lots of jammy dark fruits, licorice and toasted spice. Surprisingly textured and rounded, it has terrific purity and a hard-to-resist personality. I don't see any reason to delay gratification and would drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years. (Oct 2015)"
92 points and 'Very highly recommended,' California Grapevine: "Medium-light to medium ruby; attractive, black cherry and other red and black berries in the aroma along with floral notes and a hint of mocha; medium to medium-full body; rich, deep, textured, red and black fruit flavors with good balance, well integrated oak, and a hint of cola; medium to medium-full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Deserves a good two to four more years of bottle aging. 14.5% alcohol; released March 2015. (May 2015)"
92 points PinotReport: "Medium ruby color; bright wild plum and cherry aromas with traces of oak spice; ripe and polished cherry and plum flavors with fine tannins on the finish; good structure and balance; long finish. A ripe and polished Pinot with some bright and wild flavors. (9/15/15)"
Producer notes: "Our 2013 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a blend of eight vineyards: Gap’s Crown, Griffin’s Lair, Kanzler, Pfendler, Spring Hill, Terra de Promissio, Thorn Ridge and Walala. Most of these are located in the southern portion of the Sonoma Coast appellation and lie directly in the path of the Petaluma Wind Gap’s Pacific Ocean cooling and the maritime influence of the San Pablo Bay. Aromatics: The wine shows focused black cherry, ripe currants, and blueberry in the nose, followed by intense blackberry. In the background there is a dusting of cocoa nibs and cassis. On the palate: The 2013 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir first shows dark fruits that focus on the center of the palate then steadily permeates into all areas of the mouth. The focused acidity, balanced with gripping tannins, carries the rich dark fruit character toward the mid-palate, followed by lush black cherry and sealed with ripe currants. Flavors are slowly released from the wine showing a rich complexity of flavors, textures, ending with a long seductive finish."
