Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Cherry and cranberry aromas, with a flavours of cherry and raspberry. A fairly simple Pinot Noir taht would pair well with turkey or light pork dishes.

Shelley Harris rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This wine has a mild cherry and smoke aroma and flavour. Would pair well with a chicken or turkey dinner.

Tom Vigeant reviewed this wine as follows:

Fragrant strawberry and dried flower petals aromas. Pleasant ripe red berry and spice flavours. Moderately firm tannins, light to medium body, dry. Oak and a bit of pepper dominate the finish.

This medium-bodied Californian red wine finishes with sweet raspberry and vanilla smoke from oak aging. Pinot Noir is difficult to grow, and therefore generally pricier than other red wines.
