"A semi-opaque, deep ruby with a purple hint, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Number Eight takes on a darker profile, with wet stone, blackberry, pepper, and grilled rosemary. Full-bodied, it brings more structure, with ripe tannins, iron-rich earth, and kirsch as well as fresh lift on the finish. Drink 2025-2035." 

Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points 

"Wonderful violet and rose petal aromas lead to juicy black cherry and black currant flavors in this medium- to full-bodied, lightly tannic wine. Its concentrated fruit core keeps pumping out delicious berries through the sip and the lingering finish. Best from 2025-2032." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Perfumed and unique nose of mulberries, orange slices, sweet spices, burdock root and lotus seeds. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins and a soft, supple texture. Plump and moreish. Drink now." 

Wine Advocate, 91 Points 

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvée Number Eight was matured for 11 months in 55% new French oak. It’s scented of blackberry jam, allspice, wild fennel and foresty undertones. The palate is chalky and refreshing with concentrated, broody flavors and a long, spicy finish. It’s drinking beautifully straight from the bottle." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"Delivers a lush, hard-to-resist core of plum and boysenberry preserves that roll through, laced with anise and sweet spices on the broad finish. For fans of the not-shy style. Drink now through 2026. 475 cases made."
