Score 95/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2019
The 2017 Pinot Noir Porter-Bass Vineyard is the most sensual and open-knit of the four Sonoma Coast Pinots in this range. Sweet red cherry, plum, lavender, rose petal and spice all flesh out in an expressive Pinot with soft curves and tons of sheer appeal. I would prefer to cellar it for at least a few years, although readers will have a very hard time exercising that kind of patience.
