Score 92/100 · Drink 2021-2031, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2019
The 2016 Pinot Noir Estate West Ridge is a floral, airy wine with lovely energy. Crushed berries, dried flowers, chalk and mint add to its high-toned, lifted profile. Beams of supporting fine, chalky tannin add persistence to this super-expressive, taut Pinot.

Dark garnet. Some really attractive damp leaves on the nose. Not the coldest site. Dominant parcel is heavy black clay. Planted in 1990 with cuttings from Mt Eden before replanting because of virus. 30 hl/ha. Remarkably resilient vineyard, even in the very hot growing season of 2017. Very charming with depth. Great freshness and balance. (JR)
