Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Good deep red. Ineffable aromas of wild red berries, rose petal, citrus blossom, pepper and smoky, spicy oak. Juicy and red-fruity in the mouth, with excellent flavor intensity and depth. Fresh acids contribute to the impression of elegance. This is remarkably graceful for Sonoma Coast pinot. Finishes with excellent subtle length and firm but fine tannins. Based on this and the '97, this is a pinot site with outstanding potential.
