Cherry preserves, cocktail bitters, dusty, peppery spice and dried flowers are all at the fore on this fragrant, easy-to-like Pinot. There’s a brightness and lightness to the fruit, thanks to lovely acidity. It’s all wound up in well structured, textural tannins, with a mineral through line. A tightrope of elegance, power and age-worthiness, this hasn’t reached its peak yet and has perhaps a decade left in it. Wine Enthusiast

This is a deliciously spicy and complex pinot with aromas of spiced cherries, tea leaves, cedar, grilled herbs, smoke and potpourri. Rich in both flavor and texture, with plush tannins and a medium body. Long and spicy. James Suckling

Vibrant, with aromatics leaping out of the glass, including palo santo, sandalwood and a touch of singed tobacco, which complement the blackberry, blueberry and huckleberry flavors. Reveals spice notes of star anise, fennel and nutmeg, with a touch of green tea lingering on the finish. Wine Spectator
