97 points James Suckling: "Fascinating aromas of black cherries, strawberries, lead pencil, and spices. Full to medium body. Chewy and grainy tannins. Flavorful and textured. Real heritage clone character. Reminds me of the great Mondavi pinots of the 1970s and 1980s. Drink or hold. (11/10/23)"
94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "[$95 list] The 2022 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard was bottled in August 2023 and tasted in November. It has deep aromas of charcuterie, black licorice and rooibos tea leaves complementing a core of pomegranate and briar fruit. The medium-bodied palate is silky, seamless and packed with generous, perfumed fruit. It has a long, spicy finish and is notable for its detail and nuance. 185 cases were made, and it will be released in March of 2024. (Dec 2023)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$95 list] Ripe and juicy, with a lovely set of mulberry, black cherry and loganberry notes that unfurl over the caressing but persistent structure. Light apple wood, anise and hibiscus notes fill in on the vivid finish. Drink now through 2031. 185 cases made. (8/31/24)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard is powerful and somewhat bombastic, as wines from this site can be. Grilled herbs, leather, tobacco, incense, menthol, licorice and spice lend notable complexity throughout. There is some grippiness in the tannin that needs to resolve. This is very nicely done. Drink: 2023-2032. (Aug 2023)"
