Wine Advocate, 98 Points 

"The 1999 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge is composed of pure black fruits mixed with floral overtones. It is dense, opulent, and nearly viscous with extraordinary purity and concentration. It comes across as a New World version of perhaps Domaine de la Romanee-Conti's La Tache or Richebourg, or a Claude Dugat or Dugat-Py grand cru. It is an awesome effort that falls just short of perfection." 

Wine Spectator, 92 Points 

"Dark garnet color, with a broad, rich, intense yet supple range of wild berry, anise, sage and mineral, picking up a touch of rhubarb and black cherry on the finish. Complex and concentrated, the finish exhibits tasty flavor nuances that linger on the palate."  

Alcohol: 14.4%
