The wine is praised for its "notes of pomegranate, redcurrant jelly, and Bing cherries, plus wafts of violets, star anise, and menthol with a hint of Sichuan pepper," offering a "firm and taut palate with a solid backbone of grainy tannins and lovely acidity backing up the muscular fruit." This review underscores the wine's "long and wonderful purity."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also awarded the wine a high score of 95, noting its "broody aromas of blood orange, iron, rhubarb and cranberry sauce with notes of dusty earth and dried herbs." The review points out the wine's "incredible intensity, lift and expansive flavor layers," culminating in a "very long, juicy finish."

Wine Enthusiast echoes this sentiment, giving the wine a 95 score and describing it as "outstanding in muscular, dark fruit tones" with "a substantial length and breadth of complexity." The wine's weight and expansion on the palate reveal "firm tannins and powerful lushness," attributed to the grapes grown at a 1,100-foot elevation in cool, coastal conditions.

Jeb Dunnuck, providing a score of 94, mentions that the wine is "one of the more approachable Pinots in the lineup," with "spiced cherries, mulberries, spicy oak, violets, and orange blossom" defining its aromatics. The wine is described as "medium-bodied, with a round, expansive texture, more velvety tannins, and a great finish."

Wine Spectator also rates it at 94, highlighting its "svelte and richly spiced" nature with "plush, concentrated flavors of dark fruit and berries swathed with ripe acidity." The review notes "loamy hints to the Asian spice accents, with lots of chocolaty nuances on the finish."

Vinous and James Suckling both give the wine a score of 93. Vinous describes it as a "dark, sumptuous wine" with "ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, incense and a kiss of French oak," while James Suckling appreciates its "lovely nose of ripe red fruit and berries with notes of dried flowers" and "pleasant bitterness on the palate."
