92 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.5%). Excellent value from this González Byass-owned winery, Ritual's naturally fermented Pinot Noir uses some whole bunch fermentation and 20% new wood to good effect. Sappy, spicy and floral with juicy strawberry fruit and subtle oak. 2019-23. (2019)"
91 points James Suckling: "A pinot noir with sweet tobacco and strawberry aromas and flavors. Medium body, tight tannins and a fresh finish. Linear and fine. Drink now. (2/19/18)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "[$21 list] A svelte and juicy red, with a concentrated core of raspberry and cherry flavors backed by rich acidity. The well-spiced finish shows hints of smoked paprika. Drink now through 2024. (11/15/20)"
90 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "Obviously, the 2017 Ritual Pinot Noir feels ripe, the product of a warm and dry year. It is quite expressive and open, quite varietal and clean, with red fruit and floral aromas and a serious mouthfeel with very fine and chalky tannins. The oak is very integrated, and the wine feels harmonious and has good freshness. Drink: 2020-2023. (Feb 2020)"
