Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points 

"Intense aromas of black raspberry and strawberry float atop spicy cracked pepper and sharp baking spice on the nose of this bottling. The palate pops with floral flavors of scarlet red rose and lavender, with a lightly caramelized kick of dark cherry arising by the finish, as black pepper dust enhances the whole sip." 

Vinous, 92 Points 

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Escolle Vineyard is a very pretty and expressive wine. Plum, licorice, cloves, lavender and spice bring out the darker side of Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot. This deceptively mid-weight Pinot packs plenty of punch—that much is pretty clear. Attractive floral and savory notes linger."
