Magnum - 2020 Pinot Noir - La Encantada Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
94 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2020 La Encantada Vineyard jumps out of the glass with blackberry jam, mixed berry pie and warm winter spices. Bold, brooding dark fruit on the palate is complemented by soft, chalky tannins and a firm finish. -Lily Hays, Director to Consumer Business Manager

"The 2020 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard is a dense, expansive wine, and yet it retains the translucent feel that is such a signature here. Red/blue fruits, blood orange, star anise and rose petal confer exoticism. There's real substance, not to mention tons of class." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard is slightly more exotic and gamey, with plenty of framboise and mulberry fruits, notes of leafy herbs, damp earth, and underbrush, medium body, bright yet integrated acidity, and building tannins. This nicely textured, round, supple, yet still structured effort will benefit from a year in bottle and keep through 2032." -Jeb Dunnuck
