Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck – “The 2020 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills comes mostly from the El Jabali Vineyard and spent 10 months in barrel. It’s a darker, richer, concentrated style of Pinot Noir that gives up ample red and black fruits, spices, dried herbs, and hints of loamy earth. Beautifully textured and medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, this is a brilliant Pinot Noir that readers will love. I’d drink bottles…” (94 Pts)

Wine Advocate – ““The 2020 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, matured in 40% new French oak, has a medium ruby-purple color and scents of pomegranate, blueberries and tangerine with spicy and earthy accents. The palate is plush and juicy with intense berry fruits and a long, perfumed finish. All that juicy fruit is irresistible! 1,400 cases produced.” (92 Pts)

Wine Enthusiast – “Clean aromas of black cherry and crushed slate are full and ripe but very linear on the nose of this appellation cuvée. The palate lands with the lush black cherry flavors and a full-bodied mouthfeel, but the sagebrush, savory mushroom, earthy soil and fresh acidity elements add valuable depth.” (92 Pts)
