Score 87/100 · Drink 2015-2019, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Mar 2015

The 2012 Pinot Noir "10 Acre" has a broody blackberry and bilberry-scented bouquet that needs more joie de vivre. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine acidity and a smooth and silky blackberry, earthy finish. Conservative, but acceptable, even if it is on the pricey side.

Score 92/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2014

Bright ruby-red. Smoky, spice-laced cherry and dark berries on the fragrant nose, with notes of vanilla, spicecake and rose oil adding complexity. In the mouth, supple, expansive black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors become tighter and spicier with air, picking up notes of star anise and dusty minerals. Closes sweet, silky and long, with resonating spiciness and harmonious tannins that fold smoothly into the wine's fruit.
