Score 89/100 · Drink 2020-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2019
The 2016 Pinot Noir Estate The Old Vineyard is very closed today and offers little of the appeal of the other wines in this range. Earthy, gamy and savory notes abound, and, if there is much fruit, it is not at all expressive. Stylistically, the Old Vineyard is an outlier in this range. This parcel is planted with own-rooted Pommard and Wädenswil clone Pinot. To my palate, the wine is just too awkward to provide any real pleasure.
