Score 92/100 · Drink 2011-2020, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Oct 2008

The 2006 Pinot Noir Beacon Hill reveals a touch of eucalyptus in its attractive perfume. Darker, denser, and more structured than its North Valley sibling, this well-balanced, lengthy effort will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2011 to 2020. If our economic doldrums have caused you to forego Dom Perignon Rose and Roederer Cristal Rose, keep in mind that for the price of one bottle of those stellar Champagnes, you could purchase an entire case of Tony Soter’s Beacon Hill Brut Rose.

Score 91/100 · Josh Raynolds, May 2008

Brilliant red color. Sexy bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, mocha and clove. Pliant red fruit flavors gain weight and power with air, picking up blackberry and anise qualities. Spice notes increase on the long, juicy finish. This flab-free pinot really stains the palate.
