92 points Wine Enthusiast: "A lighter hue in the glass, this bottling shows ample earth on the nose, from dusty rocks to summer-day soils, with red currant and mushroom aromas arising as well. That earthy mushroom funk gives depth to the brisk raspberry and white-pepper flavors of the palate. Alcohol 13.5%. (Mar 2024)"
91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The light ruby-hued 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County has a spicy, perfumed nose of red fruits, leather, and savory herbs as well as more floral and minty nuances that emerge with time in the glass. It's medium to light-bodied, beautifully balanced, graceful, and elegant, with a slightly fleeting style geared for drinking over the coming 4-6 years. Drink: 2024-2030. (8/15/24)"
90 points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is sourced from North Canyon, Riverbench, Donnachadh and Presqu'ile and aged 10 months in barrel. A nose of black tea, red cherries and tobacco leaves introduce a silky, bright, high-toned palate. The finish is delicate and framed with fine-grained tannins. It's a very well-made, earth-tinged snapshot of Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. Drink: 2024-2028. (10/10/24)"
