94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A step up over the Russian River blend, the 2016 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast offers more red fruits, raspberries, flowers, and rose petal notes, with a pinewood/forest floor character developing with time in the glass. This medium-bodied, silky, elegant Pinot Noir has a terrific sense of minerality, integrated acidity, and a complex, nuanced style that’s going to evolve nicely for 7-8 years. (6/5/18)"

94 points James Suckling: "Aromas of oyster shell and dark berries with plenty of dried strawberries and spices. Medium-bodied, very tight and focused with silky tannins. A fresh and slightly salty finish. Crisp and vivid. Drink or hold. (5/23/18)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Plump and generous up front, with elegant plum, raspberry and wild berry notes, slowly building depth and dimension on the finish, where the flavors linger. Drink now through 2024. (9/30/18)"

Producer notes: "6% whole cluster fermentation. Nose: Baked mixed berries with hints of cacao nibs and raw black currants. Herbs de Provence and forest floor shine through. Mouth: Loganberries and Santa Rosa Plums are electric on the palate. Silky tannins for a long, smooth finish. Alcohol 14.0%."
