94 points James Suckling: "A stunning Russian River Valley pinot noir that’s 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. (5/3/19)"

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$45 list] From a blend of iconic sites, like Rochioli, Hallberg and Martaella, this opens with thick, dense and concentrated tones of dried cherry and cola before unleashing a wealth of white pepper and black tea. It finds a balance between the fruit and the forest elements on the midpalate, finishing in silky brilliance. Alcohol 13.9%. (Dec 2018)"

93 points PinotFile (5/3/20).

Producer notes: "[$45 list] Captivating aromas of fresh Bing cherries, raspberry preserves, and dried strawberries quickly emerge from the glass. A second glance reveals elements of cola, green tea, and traces of white pepper and nutmeg. A backdrop of forest floor and wild mushrooms lend complexity and weight to the generous red fruit fl avors and classic Russian River Valley fi nesse. The palate is decidedly textural, silky, and perfectly balanced with abundant acidity, purity, and length."
