88 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$20 list] Hitching Post’s 2009 Pinot Noir Hometown is an attractive, mid-weight wine laced with sweet red cherries, flowers and sweet spices. It shows good depth and balance to match its juicy personality. Best of all, it is a terrific value in Pinot Noir. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. (Aug 2012)"

87 points Wine Spectator: "[$20 list] Starts out juicy, with plum and cherry notes that are fresh and lively, firming midpalate and ending with a drying herb aftertaste. Drink now through 2015. (10/15/11)"
