"The medium ruby-colored 2007 Pinot Noir Estate Grown was 100% destemmed and aged in 50% new oak. The alluring nose of rose petal, cherry, and raspberry leads to a slightly lean wine with a clipped finish. Even so, it is an attractive Pinot Noir for drinking over the next three years. 88 Points Dr Jay Miller, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (USA), February 2009
"The secret to avoiding many of the pitfalls of the tough 2007 Pinot vintage proved to be picking early, and Steve Webber and his team nailed it with this wine. A pure nutmeg and red cherry bouquet introduces a finely structured, red-fruited palate with layers of complexity and great persistence." 94 points Tyson Stelzer, WBM Magazine, February 2009
