Score 94/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2019
A stunning Russian River Valley pinot noir thatâs earthy and smoky with beet and herbal notes. This is ripe yet beautifully balanced. The precisely crafted tannin structure gives the wine positive warmth and a complex, lingering finish. Drink or hold.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2018-2024, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Apr 2018
Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Russian River Selection has quite an earthy nose of garrigue, mossy bark and underbrush with a core of cranberries and red currants plus a waft of lavender. Light to medium-bodied with a chewy frame and crisp line of freshness, the delicate red berry and earth layers provide great expression with impressive length. 10,700 cases produced.
