The 2020 Pinot Noir Mid Elevation is bright and punchy in the glass. Sweet red cherry fruit, mint, spice, licorice, anise and blood orange lend energy throughout. This mid-weight, rather nervy Pinot has quite a bit to recommend it. Medium in body, but with terrific persistence, the Mid-Elevation has plenty to say. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2022)

Zippy coastal pinot with lush fruits and nice structure. Definitely age worthy!

Found this slightly disappointing. A bright, crisp pinot noir, with nice raspberry and spice notes on the nose, but it seemed to lack depth.

Medium bodied cool climate Pinot. You can almost taste the climate. Structured and well balanced - not one of those pinots that just disappears in your mouth.
