Goedhuis, February 2023
The Pinot Noirs from California’s Cienega Valley often carry beautiful rose petal and bergamot aromas, explains owner Christian Pillsbury. This is absolutely the case in Eden Rift’s exquisite 2019 Estate Pinot where these distinct flavours infuse the soft, sensual and wonderfully high-toned fruit of red cherry, cranberry, raspberry and blackberry. A third whole cluster vinification and 10 months ageing in 30% new French oak confers sumptuous spice and a supple texture to the mouth-watering juiciness. The fresh forest fruit finish is long, earthy, and mineral with delicate floral inflections. Perfectly pure, terroir-focused Pinot from one of California’s most exciting cool-climate regions. Drink 2023-2029.

Wine Enthusiast, May 2023, Score: 96
Winemaker Cory Waller is in epic stride at this property right now, and this bottling is solid case in point. It's light in the glass, with aromas of fresh and dried cherry, mild game and dusty chaparral on the elegant nose. The palate perfectly captures ripe fruit yet retains lovely and rustic layers of tar and baking spice. The compelling texture pushes it into the next league.

Eden Rift Vineyards
Under vine since 1849, Eden Rift is one of the oldest continually producing estate vineyards in California. A remote, pacific refuge located under the shadow of the Gavilan Mountain Range, the estate rests on the San Andreas Fault. Only 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean, this site benefits from an ideal, temperate maritime climate as well as the coveted calcareous soils requisite in the cultivation of vivid and energetic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Eden Rift's winemaker Cory Waller, spent time in Napa, Oregon and in Martinborough, New Zealand, and neighbouring Calera, before joining the team at Eden Rift. A man of few words, Waller favours the fruit of vines that struggle profoundly to produce small, yet delineated yields. He prefers to allow Mother Nature to do her thing.Region
