Score 96/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2019
The 2016 Pinot Noir Quarter Moon Vineyard, from a 40-acre site located west of Freestone, offers a deeper, more savory, foresty character as well as plenty of black raspberry fruits, allspice, dried flowers, cedar, and loamy earth. This beautiful, layered, multi-dimensional Pinot Noir has terrific depth of fruit, a seamless texture, high yet integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s another brilliant wine from this team.
