Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Feb 2020

Aged in 40% new French oak for 11 months, the medium ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands offers a wonderful perfume of cranberry jelly, raspberry and strawberry preserves, boysenberry and rose petal perfume with blood orange and Earl Grey tea leaves, underbrush and pink peppercorn hints. Light to medium-bodied, it's silky, perfumed and elegant with very finely dispersed tannins and juicy freshness lifting the long, understated finish. Lovely! 2,400 cases produced.

A blend of five parcels, this has attractive, bright red cherries and dried red flowers, too. The palate has a very plush and smooth, fleshy and open feel. Really silky and approachable now.
