Score 97/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Jun 2019
The 2017 Pinot Noir Cleary Estate comes from the Sonoma Coast and saw 45-55% new barrels. This ruby/purple-hued effort offers up an awesome bouquet of black raspberries, black cherries, smoked earth, sweet earth, and underbrush. Possessing remarkable purity and elegance, medium to full body, no hard edges, and straight up awesome tannin quality, it's a brilliant wine as well as one of the Pinot Noirs of the vintage.
