93 points PinotReport: "[$55/750ml list] Medium-deep ruby color; deep, complex, cranberry and cherry aromas with complex spice and earthy notes; rich, ripe, deep, complex cherry flavors with spicy cranberry and earthy notes; silky, sweet oak; good structure and balance; long finish. Deep, complex Pinot with great flavor. Needs more time to develop. (1/15/12)"

90 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "[$55/750ml list] Good bright dark red. Black raspberry, cherry, cola, pepper and flowers on the nose. Creamy and ripe on entry, then firmer in the middle, with lovely perfume and energy to the flavors of raspberry, cranberry, rose petal, brown spices and minerals. Juicy but substantial pinot noir, finishing with piquant pepper and herb notes from vinification with a portion of the stems?? A good deal of juice was declassified into the winery's Fogdog label to protect the quality of this wine. (May/Jun 2011)"

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$55/750ml list] So brisk in acidity, you can taste the ocean winds that chill this coastal vineyard at night. It’s also extraordinarily ripe. Few Pinot Noirs get this fruity. Floods the mouth with the essence of raspberries and cherries. The acidity and a firm minerality give it much needed structure. Alcohol 14%. (Sep 2011)"

'Very good (+),' PinotFile: "[$55/750ml list] 14.0% alc. 100% estate-grown from Pastorale and Quarter Moon vineyards. Aged 14 months in 60% new and 40% 2 to 3-year-old French oak barrels. Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Lovely aromas of black cherries, exotic spice, brier and cut flowers with a slight hint of tobacco smoke, picking up interest and intensity over time in the glass. Black cherry-driven flavors with pleasing oak and whole cluster spice, slightly dwarfed at this stage by oak. Like cherry pie day at cooking school - cherries, baking spices and very interesting results. A solid wine that will improve in the cellar due to its impeccable structure. (5/16/11)"
