Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2017, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2012

The 2009 Pinot Noir Akiko's Cuvee is a beautifully centered, poised wine graced with exquisite class and finesse. The aromas and flavors reveal tons of delineation and focus. Sweet black cherries, mint, minerals and spices wrap around the pointed finish. This is a fabulous Pinot from the Sonoma Coast.

Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011

Medium red. Sexy, highly perfumed scents of wild strawberry, raspberry, cola, potpourri and allspice, with a slow-building mineral quality and a hint of white pepper. Stains the palate with sweet red berry and floral pastille flavors and picks up a subtle smoky note on the back half. Shows superb intensity without excess weight, finishing with serious persistence on a suave note of allspice. This should be singing in about three years, not that there's any crime in enjoying it now.
