MaryAnn Worobiec gave this wine a score of 90 points and suggested a drinking window extending through 2028. (winespectator.com, Sept. 30, 2018)TASTING NOTE: A smart pinot noir with plenty on offer in terms of fresh flowers, fresh leafy nuances, red cherries, orange zest and oak spice. The palate has an attractive bed of fine-grained tannins and neat resolve. Drink now. Score - 92 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Nov. 13, 2017) |
