91 points - amazing value An amazing value in California Pinot Noir! previous vintage 90 Points Wine Spectator: "Deftly balanced, this is slow to build nuance and complexity, unfolding to reveal tiers of spicy raspberry, black cherry and wilted rose. Though medium-weight, the flavors build intensity and nuance. Drink now through 2020." 92 Points Wine Enthusiast *Editor's Choice* Robert Parker: "It is amazing that the Pinot Noir Vintner’s Reserve (99.9% Pinot Noir, sourced 68% from Monterey, 29% Santa Barbara and 3% Mendocino) is so good for the price. Soft, sweet cherry and pomegranate notes jump from the glass along with some sassafras and loamy soil undertones. It is medium-bodied, fruity, round and seductive. Drink it over the next several years."

I enjoyed this wine very much. It was a tad sweet for my preference, I usually go for the dryer reds. The wine was great at room temperature and I enjoyed it with beef. There was an undertone of black and red fruits as well as oak. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Concentrated aroma with plum etc. Juicy with spicy taste. One hour after opening, became stable, calm. Easy to enjoy! @1105, XMOUTON, 180707-180710

Strong aroma, mild flavor. Not as good as some. Would go ok with steak.
