Jeb Dunnuck, 95 Points 

"A medium ruby color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Goldridge is highly expressive out of the gate, offering spicy and well-layered with notes of baking spice, cinnamon, dried violets, ripe raspberries, and brambly herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a great spine of acidity, a texture of fine tannins, and a long finish with a note of perfume. Drink it over the next 15 years." 

Wine Enthusiast, 94, Points 

"Bright aromas of crème de cassis, purple flowers, cola spice and sauteed shitake mushroom swirl all over the place on the nose of this lively and pleasurable Pinot. The cherry and raspberry dominated palate feels very decadent and weighty but is balanced by a streak of zesty lemon acidity that elevates the entire structure." 

Wine Spectator, 93 Points 

"Vivid and expressive, with a long wave of hibiscus, pomegranate, plum and mulberry notes that pour through. Very polished in feel, with sparkles of anise, cinnamon and incense filling in the background. Not shy, but stays defined and focused through the finish, also showing the structure to cellar a bit. Drink now through 2032. 915 cases made."
