"CA Pinot Noir at its best; rich black cherry and raspberry, balanced with tea and earthy aspects reflect the character of this preeminent estate. Presents an “evolving” profile despite its 7 years in bottle. Stock your cellars now to enjoy the level of quality synonymous with Clouds Rest." Steve Morey, MS, 2/8/13 SCORE: 95 Pinot Report
"Medium cherry-red color. Sweet, balanced pinot fruit, spice & earthy nose. Red cherry, strawberry, apricot, mushroom & caramel flavors. This is the most flexible of the Clouds Rest Limited Release Pinot Noir wines and will match with a wide range of food dishes. Pair with anything of moderate intensity. The most attractive wine for drinking today and in the short to mid-term. Very polished." Steve Morey, Master Sommelier (4/18/12) SCORE: 95 Pinot Report
"Medium cherry-red color. Attractive & balance red cherry, apricot nose. Stylish on the palate with Bing cherry, wild strawberry, mushroom, spice & earth. Excellent balance between components.

"Medium deep crimson-ruby color with an attractive bright violet edge. Fresh, rich red cherry & pomegranate fruit, toasted oak, earth and faint sandalwood aromas.

"The beauty in this wine lies in one’s first impression of summer floral fragrance, followed by the snap of early season apples and pears. Subtle, elemental fruit flavors are more than pleasant on the palate. Enjoy often with seared scallops, roasted leeks and fennel with accents of fresh tarragon, and creamy cow’s milk cheese." Steve Morey, Master Sommelier 2/8/13
"Very pale straw color. Very discreet, aromatic, floral, faint dry extract of honey, Meyer lemon rind & pink grapefruit nose. Very stylish, crisp flavors. Will not overwhelm delicate food dishes. A very useful and accommodating wine." Steve Morey, Master Sommelier (4/18/12)
"Mouthwateringly irresistible; striking tones of citrus and essence of Verbena leaf beautifully reflect fruit from the highly regarded parcel, “Shop Block”, Dutton Ranch. Crispness of character, in balance with blooming lemon, grapefruit, and mineral tones, makes this Sauvignon Blanc easy to pair with a range of lighter fare." Steve Morey, MS (2/8/13)
