The 2016 Pinot Noir Southing is terrific. Finely cut and bright, with soaring floral and citrus overtones, the Southing offers a beguiling mix of deep fruit and aromatic intensity. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint and rose petal are all finely cut in a precise, mid-weight Pinot of real distinction. This is such a pretty wine. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2019)

Very fruit-forward American-style Pinot Noir. It would be a great wine at $25, but it is not worth its high price. Excellent fruity nose but the palette is strong fruit and inelegant. Smooth finish. Also, the wine improves greatly with an hour of air but still has an intense and overwhelming fruitiness.
