95pts Vinous

The 2019 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard is an exquisite wine. Kirsch, sweet red cherry, mint and blood orange give the 2019 exotic aromatics to match its mid-weight personality. Pliant and silky, yet quite powerful, the Rinconada packs a serious punch. At the same time, it has a feeling of transparency that is so appealing. This is an absolutely alluring wine from one of the best sites in the Sta. Rita Hills.

94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Pale ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard has slowly emerging scents of dried violet, cranberry and blueberry with nuances of licorice and saline. The palate is intense and powerful, with loads of chalky tannins, seamless freshness, iron-like mineral character and an uplifted finish.

Winemaker Notes
Aromatically this wine is red fruit-driven, with spiced cherries and rhubarb. On the palate, this wine follows those red fruit flavors, as well as notes of ginger root, strawberries, and a youthful kick of acidity.
