"The 2023 Pinot Noir Bodega Ridge Vineyard is powerful and pretty. It has a medium ruby-purple color and unfurls dramatically on the nose: initial wafts of damp earth, mushroom and conifer give way to intense layers of red and black cherry, plum and pomegranate. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated yet elegant, flooding the mouth with layers of crunchy red and blue fruit. Its tannins are refined and lacy, its vibrant acidity adds tension, and it has a very long, dynamic finish. It should be very long lived in the cellar." 96+pts Erin Brooks The Wine Advocate
"The 2023 Pinot Noir Bodega Ridge Vineyard is a bright ruby red hue and so expressive and peppery, with layered aromas of black raspberries, wild juniper, incense, sage, rosemary, and toasted spice. (It seems that every time I go back to it, there’s another layer.) The palate has lush, even tannins and a long finish. Drink over the coming 20 years, although it already has a lot to say today. Drink 2026-2046." 99pts Audrey Frick JebDunnuck.com
