... this weighty, well-structured opus from Goorgian Vineyards wins top honors by dint of its fruity depth and seamless composition. It is, quite simply, a wine that has it all and, while very rich, it never so much as hints at excess. As fine Pinot Noir is wont to do, it shows a good deal of appeal in its youth, but, among its clan, it is the one we would pick first for the cellar without hesitation and urge that it not be opened for at least three or four years. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (November 2019)
