Carl Bird WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Ce vin rouge brillant a une couleur grenat moyen. Au nez, il est propre avec des arômes d'intensité moyenne (+) de cerise, de prune séchée et de poivre noir. Ce vin se développe. En bouche, ce vin rouge sec présente une acidité moyenne (+), un corps moyen (+) et des tanins moyens. Les saveurs explosent en bouche. Le poivre noir, les cerises, les prunes séchées et les poivrons verts sont tous présents. Le vin se termine bien avec un très bon équilibre. Ce vin est abordable mais s’améliorera avec trois à quatre ans de bouteille 38,75 $ au Québec.

This brilliant red wine has a medium garnet colour. On the nose it is clean with medium(+) intensity aromas of cherry, dried plum and black pepper. This wine is developing. On the palate this dry red wine exhibits medium (+) acidity, medium (+)body and medium tannins. The flavours explode on the palate. Black pepper, cherries, dried plums and green peppers are all present. The wine finishes well with very good balance. This wine is approachable but will improve with three to four years in the bottle. $38.75 in Quebec.
Rebecca Meir-Liebman rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

From one of my favourite wineries in Oregon, this graceful and elegant, high-altitude, pinot noir is a great example of how Oregon’s terroir expresses this magical, heart breaking grape. Cherry on the nose, red fruit on the palate, prefect acidity, and balanced fruitiness, this is one complex and delicious wine! I admit it, I’m a fan, and this is a wine that goes straight to the soul. With every sip I fall more and more in love with this Pinot.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

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.
