The delicacy of this pinot noir keeps it airy even as its red fruit saturates the texture and some youthful reductive notes close it off. The green-onion tension gives way to briny notes of seaweed and beach grass, the oak adding a smoky undertone.

92 points Robert Parker Jr's The Wine Advocate - February 2020, Week 1

The 2016 Pinot Noir has a pale to medium ruby-purple color and notions of eucalyptus, forest floor, cool blueberries, raspberry and sweet strawberry preserves with prosciutto, faint hints of dried herbs, wild blackberries and an orange peel note. The palate is light to medium-bodied with an intense core of perfumed fruit, a soft, grainy frame and juicy acidity, finishing with pretty berry notes. —E.B.

Cellar Selection

From Mount Eden’s more affordable sister property comes this heady bottling, which begins with aromas of dark red fruit and freshly laid asphalt. The palate is immensely earthy, with more tar and a touch of singed boar skin, yet set against a dark raspberry and cranberry profile. Drink 2020–2031. —M.K.

The 2016 Pinot Noir is a very pretty wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Sweet floral, savory and spice overtones and bright, red cherry fruit add character to this delicate, perfumed Pinot. In 2016, the Pinot is a bit light, but attractive and accessible.
