“ A wealth of very pure, perfectly ripened cherry-like fruit at every turn, this deftly oaked offering strikes a lovely balance between ripeness and careful structure. Wonderfully tasty…it promises to grow over time and will must surely reward a few more years of patience.”
-Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine, February 2004

“…a rich, full bodied Pinot Noir, with good depth and length. It is intensely fruity (black cherry) with overtones of spicy oak, tobacco and wood smoke.”
-Ronn Wiegand, Restaurant Wine, Issue #99
