92 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 92 Points, Decanter
This is a gorgeous Sta. Rita Hills cuvee by one of the most consistent producers in California each year. The 2017 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is bold, juicy and super-expressive, with lovely aromatic nuance to play off the dark cherry and plums. It’s a seductive appellation Pinot of real character and substance. Then again, that’s not surprising given that vineyard sites are La Encantada, Sanford & Benedict, La Rinconada and Bentrock. This is a terrific showing from Etienne De Montille and Justin Willett, two fabulous winemakers.
