A little smokier in aroma and fuller in flavor than the rest of the range of Davies Pinots, this wine tastes robust, ripe and exotic, but still has bright acidity and firm tannins to give structure. It is full bodied, nicely oaky and well balanced. - Wine Enthusiast (December 2018)

This wines delicate weight belies is firm, sandy tannins and orange-zest acidity, compressing the light strawberry flavors from all sides, building on the plump texture and leaving a perfumed trace of lilacs in the end. An elegant pinot to match roast sea bass with forest mushrooms. - Wine & Spirits (December 2018)

Minerally and focused, with concentrated ripe cherry, dried cherry and macerated plum flavors accented by notes of dried savory herb. The spicy finish is taut and refined. - Wine Spectator (November 2018)

Proving that last years success was no accident and once again a beautifully focused, very polished. Pinot Noir that displays great fruity stamina, the latest edition from Goorgian Vineyards easily wins our nod as the best of the new Davies bunch for its richness and depth, but it is very arguably the best balanced as well. It is fleshy, full and slightly velvety in feel as only good Pinot can be, and, it never so much as hints at being anything but mannerly and wonderfully controlled. Waiting will not come easy, it is that good right now, but it has even better places to go yet, and we are convinced that three or four years of patience will be repaid with significant dividends. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines (November 2018)

This is a very flavorful, medium- to full-bodied wine that blends ripe black cherry and clove with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Supportive fruit acidity and light tannins add structure for an appetizing mouthfeel. - Wine Enthusiast (December 2018)

This well-modulated, well-balanced and delicious wine has everything in place from the light baking-spice and red-cherry aromas to the black-cherry, raspberry and rhubarb flavors to the tangy and palate-cleansing mouthfeel. It's especially good for the 'regular' Anderson Valley bottling. - Wine Enthusiast (December 2018)

Although none of the many Pinot Noirs from Davies is given to high ripeness and excess, this moderately full-bodied working from the far Sonoma Coast shows a little more fruity flesh on its bones than most and is shaded to fully ripe, black cherry fruit with scattered accents of dark earth and sweet oak lending an extra bit of richness and range. It is not in the least overdone, but it is an effort that gently tips the scales to the fuller side of the varietal spectrum, and thereby comes with the recommendation that it be saved for evenings when the menu features slightly richer fare. - Connoisseurs' Guide to Caifornia Wine (November 2018)
