92+ points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(vinified with 60% whole clusters, the highest percentage of these 2011 pinots; from vines picked late, in mid-October): Bright medium ruby. Aromas and flavors of raspberry, crushed cherry, smoky minerality and smoked meat are almost syrah-like. Broad on the palate but very closed and dry. Finishes with substantial fine-grained tannins, excellent length and a light touch. Most impressive today on the nose and back end, and in need of at least a few years in bottle to express itself. (May 2013)"

91 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "Dark red berries, game, iron, smoke and graphite all emerge from the 2011 Pinot Noir Peay Vineyard. A big, structured Pinot, the 2011 needs at least a few years in the cellar to open up. Today it is quite firm and shut down. An element of slight reduction remains, so readers planning to open the Peay over the next few years need to give the wine at least several hours of air. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. (Apr 2013)"
