93 pts; top 50 US Pinot noirs ~ Wine & Spirits Magazine
“A Christmas-time scent lends this wine an attractive savor in notes of pine, anisette and cut tobacco. Its flavors are juicy and bright—crushed cherries and candied plum—with a whiff of caramelly oak to lend some heft to the holiday spice. It's a steal at the price, ready for plank-roasted salmon.” ~ Wine & Spirits Magazine
