"92" Pinot Report/Issue #61, December 18, 2009 “Medium-deep ruby color; deep, rich red cherry aromas with some toasty oak notes; deep, lush cherry flavors with herbal, earthy notes and some tannin; good structure and balance; long finish. Deep, rich Pinot that needs some time to open up. Good now with at least an hour or so to air.”
"92" Wine Spectator, March 1, 2010 “A fragrant delicate style, with floral, black cherry, raspberry and tea notes that are fresh, vibrant, rich and concentrated. Full bodied without being heavy, retaining a measure of elegance and finesse. Drink now through 2016.
