Magnum - 2017 Pinot Noir - Rancho La Viña Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
94 points - Jeb Dunnuck
Red cherries, strawberries, candied red fruit, red licorice, most fruit driven of all the 2017 Pinots. Fleshy and juicy texture that lingers on and sticks to your lips. Soft structure with super bright acidity. Savory flavors on the back end and through the finish. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager

"The 2017 Pinot Noir Rancho La Vina Vineyard saw the same 60% whole clusters and spent 18 months in 30% new French oak. More black raspberry, redcurrant, sappy herb, and gamey, foresty notes emerge from this medium-bodied beauty, which has stunning balance, integrated tannins, and a great finish. It too will evolve gracefully for 10-12 years." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Candied red-cherry and raspberry-jam aromas meet with chaparral, sagebrush and cracked pepper touches on the nose of this bottling. It's fairly light in texture on the palate, where tangy raspberry and red-plum-skin flavors ride strong acidity." -Matt Kettmann
