Wine Advocate
The 2013 Pinot Noir Ridgecrest Vineyards Reserve was cropped between October 6 and 10 and matured in 55% new oak. It has a pure bouquet of black cherries and raspberry preserve that is deftly integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet, slightly chewy tannin and buoyant red berry fruit with quite a Burgundy-like finish (think something along the lines of Auxey-Duresses). Very fine. (NM)

Vinous
Deep red. Pungent red currant and cherry on the incisive nose, complicated by a floral quality. Firm, sharply focused bitter cherry, rhubarb and rose pastille flavors show good depth, and juicy acidity adds lift and nervy cut. Aeration brings out deeper cola and licorice nuances, which linger on the persistent, subtly tannic finish. (JR)
