Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: 92-94 - "The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, still in barrel, was made with 25% whole clusters and matured in 25% new French oak. The nose features alluring scents of raspberry, blueberry, tangerine, and violet, with wafts of dried herbs and conifer. The light-bodied palate is pure and silky, with concentrated, floral fruits and a long, spicy finish. It is due to be bottled in August 2022, after 11 months in bottle."
