93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Indigene comes from the estate vineyard and is all clone 115 (block B2) that was all destemmed and aged in neutral French oak. Subtle mulberry, strawberries, underbrush, and wildflowers all flow to a medium-bodied, seamless, incredibly balanced 2019 that just shines for its complexity and elegance, as well as some classic Sta. Rita Hills salinity on the finish. It’s beautifully done. (8/26/21)"

91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Pinot Noir Indigène is intensely aromatic and savory in 2019. Dried herb, tobacco, cedar and crushed flowers give this mid-weight, ethereal Pinot tons of perfume. Silky tannins add to its considerable appeal. A burst of sweet red cherry fruit lingers. Drink: 2021-2031. (Oct 2021)"
