97 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Terra de Promissio Vineyard comes from vines planted in 2002 and was matured for 15 months in 63% new oak. It's expressive and complex this vintage, offering layers of fruit, spice and earth. Pale ruby in the glass, the nose is bursting with scents of pomegranate, rhubarb and cranberry and wafts of rooibos tea leaves, licorice, tobacco and underbrush. Medium-bodied and harmoniously structured, the palate features concentrated, nuanced fruit and a very long finish with alluring streaks of spice. 752 cases were made. Drink: 2025-2040. (Jun 2023)"
96 points James Suckling: "The iron and oyster shell character in the nose comes through with aromas of strawberry. Lavender and other flowers. Full-bodied with very firm tannins and an intensity. Closed off at the end. Shows verve. Yet shy now. Better in four or five years. (6/9/23)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "This pulls you in with a beautiful array of mulberry, damson plum and black cherry notes, which have lushness combined with underlying tension. Shows ornate anise, rooibos tea and potpourri scrollwork along the edges, giving this superior range and detail. Very enticing now, but I want to see this age a bit. Best from 2024 through 2032. (9/30/23)"
95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "From this site within the Petaluma Gap that was planted in 2002, the 2021 Pinot Noir Terra De Promissio Vineyard is savory and lifted with scorched earth, medicinal herbs, and black raspberry. Medium to full-bodied, with a compact mid-palate, good tension, and fine tannins, its notes of ripe red cherry and brushy herbs make for a lovely, savory wine. Drink: 2025-2040. (Jul 2023)"
Producer notes: "Pinot Noir is about perfume and Terra de Promissio consistently epitomizes that. Delicate aromas of red cherry, fresh flowers, dried herbs, and citrus all meld together in a subtle way that offers wonderful balance. Similarly in the mouth, the wine has terrific purity that is seductive and alluring. Very refined in tannin structure and modest in acidity, the wine reaches a terrific sense of balance. Alcohol 13.5%. Optimal Drinking Window: 2024-2031."
