94pts Wine Enthusiast, #10 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2026

This appellation cuvée gratifies in the same way the estate’s block-designated bottlings do. Aromas of sour cherry, fresh herb, and dank earth lead from the nose into a zesty, crisp, and still lush palate of snappy red fruit and more forest herbs. Satisfying and refreshing. Editors’ Choice.

94pts Wine Spectator

This is very alive, with a burst of kirsch and cherry flavors liberally laced with savory and bay leaf notes. Offers crackling acidity, wet slate and a bright iris streak through the finish.

93pts James Suckling

An estate-grown wine vivid in floral and black-fruit aromas backed by a firm texture, medium body and nice, ripe concentration in the flavors. Plump blueberry, blackcurrant and boysenberry notes with dark-chocolate and black-licorice accents.

92pts Wine Advocate

The 2024 Pinot Noir Estate is gorgeous already, beaming from the glass with a darkly floral, savory bouquet of warming spice, dried flowers and nuanced marine-inflected accents. The palate is equal parts silky, rich, refined and dense, seamlessly flowing into a lifted, pretty and oceanic finish that lingers with retronasal perfume and deliciously juicy undertones.

Winemaker Notes

Aromatically this wine has a dynamically ripe red raspberry note, with orange zest, and touches of rhubarb. On the palate, the wine is deliciously savory with fine black tea, dried eucalyptus and lingering flavors of bing cherries. Overall the wine has softened tannins, delightfully cool climate influenced acidity and a lengthy finish.
