92 from the Wine Enthusiast – even better than the 2013 Calling Russian River that the Robb Report recommended at $90:
Candied Bing cherry and fresh hibiscus aromas make this an immediately likable bottling by Jim Nantz and his team, while the star anise, gingerbread and sweet herb aromas add complexity. The palate is lively and fresh with more red fruit and flowers as well as cinnamon and wild chaparral spices, leading into a eucalyptus-oil-kissed finish.
Serious value in a truly superb Pinot Noir.
