A powerfully constructed red wine that balances its ripe, fragrant, and intense cherry and red-plum fruit with the earthiness of cocoa, mushrooms, and clay.
93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The dark ruby/plum-tinged 2009 Pinot Noir UVSL Vineyard possesses crisp acids as well as sweet notes of black cherries, raspberries, blueberries, spring flowers and a hint of forest floor, and an attractive, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel. (2/ 2011)
92 points Wine Spectator
Weaves together a complex array of loamy earth and crushed rock, with trim, focused wild berry and floral scents, ending with a long, detailed finish. Drink now through 2020. (9/ 2012)
