  • Burghound, October 2020, Score: 92

    Elegant aromas feature plenty of floral influences that include rose petal and violet as well as cool essence of red berry fruit. The surprisingly forward medium weight flavors possess good richness while offering very fine length on the solidly complex finale that tightens up as it sits on the palate. This isn't particularly refined, but it offers much to like. I would note that there is a bit of raspiness on the finish but that should eventually resolve with a few more years of bottle age. Worth a look. Outstanding. Drink: 2024+

  • Wine Advocate, February 2021, Score: 91

    Made from Dijon clone vines, the 2018 Pinot Noir Estate has a pale ruby-purple color and scents of spiced rhubarb and black cherries with notes of fragrant earth and tangerine peel. The palate is light-bodied, silky, bright and juicy with spice-laced fruits and a layered finish. 2,510 cases produced.

  • James Suckling, March 2022, Score: 95

    A layered and fine-grained pinot with strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors. Flint and some cranberry and watermelon, too. Pure. Medium to full body, bright acidity and light asphalt to the strawberry and raspberry undertones. Drink or hold.

  • Jeb Dunnuck, January 2021, Score: 92

    The 2018 Pinot Noir Estate is another outstanding wine. Notes of Bing cherries, mulberries, loamy earth, and forest floor all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, has a rounded, balanced mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and enough structure to keep it drinking well for at least 7-8 years. It's rock solid. Drink 2021 - 2029

Producer

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.
