"Very snappy, elegant and linear. Well balanced with great acidity, beautiful red fruit and subtle herbs on the nose, then crisp red cherries, cranberries and spearmint on the medium-bodied palate. Made with all estate-grown fruit using 10% whole clusters and just 8% new French oak barrels. Drink now or hold." —James Suckling
"The 2023 Pinot Noir comes entirely from estate fruit and was harvested over the course of a month, from September 20 to October 20. It was fermented with 10% whole clusters and matured in used French oak. It has alluring aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, mushroom, earth and spice. The medium-bodied palate is plush and supple with mouthwatering acidity and a long, spicy finish. 16,750 cases produced." —Wine Advocate
"Shows freshness and energy, with black cherry and blackberry coulis notes laced with bright acidity, while hibiscus, iris and anise fill in the background. Should fill out nicely with modest cellaring. Drink now through 2027." —Wine Spectator
"The 2023 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is fabulous. Brisk, aromatic and expressive, the 2023 will be impossible to resist on release. Crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, menthol and spice lend notable freshness to this exuberant, juicy Pinot. Sweet floral notes extend the finish. Quality has gone up quite a bit for this bottling." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous
