Vinous 96 Points: “The 2018 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard offers laser like focus behind a core of red fruit. The Rinconada is one of the most reticent wines in the range today. I would be prepared to cellar it for at least a few years. Blood orange, mint and crushed rocks all flesh out in a vivid, mineral-driven wine loaded with class. With a bit of air, the layers really start to flesh out.”
Decanter 96 Points: “La Rinconada vineyard is adjacent to the famed Sanford & Benedict site and consistently yields a radically different wine. As with the Chardonnay from this vineyard, the Pinot Noir is more brawny, bursting and masculine answer to the elegant and effortless Sanford & Benedict. A black-fruited, polished, focused nose leads to an explosive palate loaded with high-toned red fruits, aged leather and dried roses. An impressive & multifaceted showing.”
