Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points 

"From a site in the Santa Maria Valley, the 2015 Pinot Noir Runway Vineyard has a beautiful perfume of dried flowers, sweet fruit, forest floor, and spice. It's medium-bodied, silky and elegant on the palate, with perfect balance, integrated acidity, and a clean finish. It's not incredibly powerful or deep, yet shines for its balance and elegance, and it has the structure to keep for 10-15 years as well." 

Vinous, 92 Points 

"A racy, silky wine, the 2015 Pinot Noir Runway Vineyard is endowed with lovely purity and overall depth. Ripe red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and cinnamon add considerable flavor nuance, but above all else, the Runway expresses the radiance and ripeness of the year."  

Alcohol: 13.5%
