Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points
"Light in the glass, this clonal blends pops on the nose with crisp raspberry and cranberry as hints of crushed slate and red rose petal add complexity. The landing on the palate is clean and bright, showing joyously ripe berry flavors but also elegant floral tones deep into the finish."

"Cool, pretty and elegant aromas consist of the essence of various red berries, especially cranberry and raspberry, together with subtle spice nuances. The vibrant and refined flavors possess a suave texture thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins that shape the seductive, sneaky long and compact finish where a prominent bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges. This offers unusually good quality for the price and is very much recommended, particularly for those readers who prefer to give their pinots at least some bottle aging."
Winemaker Notes:
"The 2021 Twelve Clones demonstrates the finesse typical of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Aromas of raspberry hard candy, bay laurel, and bergamot tea are complemented by flavors of red fruits, potpourri, and a hint of sweet and savory spices. Perfectly poised, this medium plus bodied wine is supported by elegant tannins."
