Score 93/100 · Drink 2023-2030, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021

The 2018 Pinot Noir Thorn Ridge Vineyard is wonderfully deep and fleshy. Rose petal, spice, sage and mint lead into a core of bright red/purplish berry fruit. The 25% new oak adds texture to the Pommard and 115 clone Pinot while leaving the wine translucent and wonderfully expressive. Whole clusters (20%) lend nuance but are not especially evident. This is very nicely done.
