Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted May 27 2017. Colour light transparent red like a car tail light. Aroma sour cherry, and a note of earth and a touch of red licorice. On the palate raspberry, sour cherry, with acid on the upper lip oak tannin taste. Finishes with heat some acid and notes of fruit. Nice BBQ wine to me the alcohol is overpowering the fruit and the taste is more bold than fruity.

Terry Jeans rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A deliciously typical California style Pinot Noir, with rich, ripe cherries, cranberries, earthiness, and smoke on the nose, leading to a medium bodied, round mouthfeel. There is some residual sugar that comes through that adds to the complexity and depth. Finally, there is a long ripe cherry finish that rounds out a very pleasant pinot that would go with many foods, including lamb chops on the smoker or margarita pizza.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
