Awards

94 POINTS, Sommelier Challenge (2023)
2019 Estate Grown Pinot Noir Reserve

“While there certainly is a fair amount of Pinot Noir in Napa Valley, it definitely doesn’t get the raves that Sonoma or Santa Barbara get for the variety. I’ll take the rave bullhorn on this offering – one that delivers lively wood spice over cherry and ripe strawberry fruit. The acidity keeps it all knit together and it remains integrated through a long finish. It’s a solid middle of the road style that will run the table from fish to fowl to meat. Well done!” Rich Cook, 2023 Sommelier Challenge
