Vinous: 95 Points

The 2018 Pinot Noir Occidental Vineyard is a gorgeous, wonderfully complex wine endowed with myriad shades of dimension. Blood orange, mint and spice add brilliant top notes to a Pinot built on a real sense of vertical intensity. The Occidental just soars out of the glass with stunning depth and pedigree to burn. I would give it a few years in bottle to come together, but it is pretty special, even in the early going. A change in pruning in this site yielded a Pinot that is just a bit less overt than some previous editions, although the vintage is, naturally, a factor as well.

Wine Spectator: 92 Points

Brimming with lively savory and sage notes as well as juicy red currant and raspberry flavors. Everything steeps together through the finish, with judicious toast, maintaining a fresh and racy feel throughout. Very distinctive. Drink now through 2025. — JM

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

The 2018 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard is clean and bright on the nose with aromas of crushed shell, white blossoms, hay and Bosc pear. The light-bodied palate follows in the same style, with crisp, mineral-driven character and a long, delicate but energetic finish. This is wound very tight and will require plenty more time in bottle. - Erin Brooks
