(96+ points) From the Sonoma Coast, the 2015 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard is gorgeous on all accounts. Crushed rocks, lite gunpowder, black cherries, pomegranate, and ample forest floor notes all flow to a concentrated, medium-bodied, tight, chiseled Pinot Noir that has awesome balance and purity, building tannin, and a great finish. It's a world-class effort that needs 3-5 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades. Bravo!

Velvety in concentrated black-cherry and strawberry flavors, this age-worthy wonder also displays floral intensity and persistent, supportive tannins. Bright acidity is layered throughout, adding a sense of energy to the robust nature of its brambly undercurrent of dry-farmed fruit. Enjoy 2020–2025. VIRGINIE BOONE
