wine enthusiast 93 pts"Winemaker Brian Loring’s take on this coveted vineyard shows rhubarb, pencil lead and a very clove-y cinnamon aspect on the nose. Raspberries mark the core of the palate, but the edges are speckled with strong herbs, from oregano to juniper. It offers a great mix of fruit and spice. - Matt Kettmann"

wa92"Offering up a touch more freshness and detail, the 2011 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is also upfront and textured, with ripe black cherry, rose garden and spring flower-like nuances all flowing to a medium-bodied, elegant and textured palate. There's not a huge amount of back-end depth but it's gorgeous nonetheless and I love the overall focus. It should shine for 4-5 years. Drink now-2018. - Jeb Dunnuck"
