...lots of toasted spice, dried earth and wild strawberry aromas and flavors, the 2012 Pinot Noir Upper Picnic Block Spring Ridge Vineyard is another red from the Varner brothers that has a rocking core of sweet fruit, a balanced, harmonious personality and a great finish...everything is nicely integrated and it should drink nicely for upwards of a decade. eRobertParker.com

As always, a stunner. This is a delight to drink. Balanced, fruity, light on oak.

Chinese New Year dinner. Lobster, fish, chicken and this. Moderate fruit, subtle spice. With air it opened nicely.
