95 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "Redolent of sweet cinnamon, clove and crushed black cherries, this Pinot packs an aromatic wallop. The palate is fresh and energetic, with an acidity that feels less linear and more chaotic in the best possible way, bouncing around the tannic grip and careening into dark cherry flavors at random. Extremely pleasurable now, this will evolve nicely over the next two decades. Alcohol 13.5%. (Sep 2024)"
93 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Ripe ruby red-colored, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is lifted and bright in the glass with cranberry, currants, blood orange zest, and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, it’s approachable and elegant, with refined tannins and a clean, lasting finish. It’s beautiful and long, with a lovely, ripe feel through the finish, and it has a bit more richness in the tannins’ structure. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Drink: 2024-2032. (6/27/24)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "This sports delicious mulberry and boysenberry preserve flavors, offering dashes of fig, anise and licorice. Showy on the fruit, with tension on the apple wood–accented finish for balance. Drink now through 2031. (9/30/24)"
Producer notes: "Brooding and darker in profile compared to the Russian River Valley bottling, the Sonoma Coast is a completely different animal. Plum, dried herbs and savory undertones complete the darker aromatic profile. Full bodied at the entry, the palate becomes saturated with flavors of plum and brambly fruits. The mid-palate weight is compelling, and the firmness of the tannins seem to melt to the extract of the wine. The palate is then refreshed with enough acidity that carries the wine to the finish with a lingering hint of a sous bois character. Alcohol 13.5%."
