95 points James Suckling: "A tight and intense pinot with wet earth, oyster shell, and seaweed. Dried herbs. Medium to full body. Tight and framed. Four square. Long and structured. Excellent now but better in a couple of years. (7/3/23)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Nicely packed, with a core of raspberry, blackberry and mulberry notes that are structured, defined and lively. Picks up black tea, singed wood spice and sous-bois accents through the finish, where the fruit lingers steadily, thanks to latent structure. Drink now through 2032. (9/30/23)"
93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is lifted with fresh aromas of wet stone, pepper, and fresh cherry. Medium-bodied, it offers a more linear feel, with a spine of bright acidity, and is balanced with blue and black berries, dusty earth, an angular texture, and a fresh lift. I love this for its snappy, crunchy fruit and nice balance. Drink 2024-2030. (7/21/23)"
93 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, matured for 11 months in 40% new oak, has a pale ruby-purple color and slowly unfolding scents of raspberry, pomegranate, bergamot, aniseed and citrus peel. The medium-bodied palate offers powerful, spicy fruit and fireworks of fresh acidity, and it finishes long and gently chalky. Drink: 2023-2030. (6/15/23)"
Producer notes: "Aromatically, the nose on the Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir has a cooler fruit character with undertones of dried herbs and wood spices. The cooler coastal hills often present wines with less fruit overtones and more savory notes. There is terrific coverage on the palate with soft acidity and broad tannins that tell the story of more adversity during the growing season. Red berry fruits and hints of graphite and cedar further add to the unique quality found in cool coastal climates. Alcohol 13.8%. Optimal Drinking Window: 2024-2031."
