93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$45 list] From a blend of iconic sites, like Rochioli, Hallberg and Martaella, this opens with thick, dense and concentrated tones of dried cherry and cola before unleashing a wealth of white pepper and black tea. It finds a balance between the fruit and the forest elements on the midpalate, finishing in silky brilliance. Alcohol 13.9%. (Dec 2018)"

The Tasting Panel-Russian River Valley, CA- "This Release shows what a spectacular vintage this was for the Russian River Valley...earth and candied rhubard engage with red licorice and raspberry jam... it shows bright, vivacious acidity and a cranberry-cherry-cola crossover kissed with spearmint."

THIS ORDER IS FOR 3 BOTTLES -- ONLY GROUND SERVICE SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR THIS ITEM. "A stunning Russian River Valley pinot noir that’s earthy and smoky with beet and herbal notes. This is ripe yet beautifully balanced. The precisely crafted tannin structure gives the wine positive warmth and a complex, lingering finish. Drink or hold. (5/3/19)"
