Score 88/100 · Drink 2022-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021
The 2018 Pinot Noir Bucher is a wild, gamy Russian River Pinot. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and animal notes give the 2018 good mid-palate creaminess and persistence. The tannins are a bit astringent, though. Overall the 2018 is solid, if not especially exciting.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2024, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Aug 2020
The 2018 Pinot Noir Bucher Vineyard has a nose of cranberry sauce and blackberries with accents of tar, woodsmoke, earth and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with restrained, earthy fruits in a soft, fresh frame, and it finishes brightly with citrusy character. 240 cases produced.
