Score 92/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2017
Crushed rapsberries and blueberries with hints of violets. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a linear backbone. Needs time to soften. Better in 2019.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2016-2024, Robert Parker, Mar 2016
The 2014 Pinot Noirs are richer wines. The 2014 Pinot Noir Russian River, which is in bottle, displays a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, medium to full body, and lots of raspberry and black cherry fruit that moves toward bluer fruits on the palate. This is a beauty to drink over the next 7-8 years.
