Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Translucent medium ruby. This is an easy drinking and aromatic pinot noir, with gorgeous blueberry and black cherry aromas. Medium-soft tannins and medium-short finish of lightly smoky blueberry jam. Score 89. (S.Segard, reviewed March 27, 2017).

Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Dark ruby in colour. Ripe black fruits and toasty oak on the nose. Full-bodied and moderately firm on the palate, with baked black fruit flavours and slightly chewy tannins. Needs time for the oak to integrate. Not overly complex.

Colin McKone rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Sonoma Pinot Noir is light ruby in colour with aromas of raspberry, strawberry jam and sweet smoke. It is medium bodied with light tannins and crisp acidity with red fruit flavours on the plate and a lingering cherry finish. This will pair well with chicken, pork or salmon. (Tasted on March 26, 2017)

Valérie Dufour rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Violet hints on the robe. Aromas of cooked raspberries. For those who like more robust pinot noir, this will please you. I prefer mine with more balance and nerves. This is a well-made product. Would pair well with venison + red fruit sauce.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Smoky raspberry and black cherry with a hint of sweet cherry in behind it. The taste is juicy black and red cherry with medium-plus acidity, a little fine tannin, and a long cherry finish.
