Our 2014 Reserve Pinot Noir has received an excellent 92 point rating from Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
“This is a barrel selection, and as such, may be expected to show extra layers of concentration—more stuffing overall. It’s a rich, smoky, lush wine, with a complex mix of red fruits ranging from rhubarb to raspberry to Bing cherries. Spicy highlights and a frame of orange peel also enter the picture… Drink 2018–2025.” – Paul Gregutt
