"It’s spicy, a little wheaty and nutty, cherry, and plum, some dried herb, orange rind too. Medium-bodied, with grainy graphite tannin, some sap in with the bright cherry, rhubarb, and strawberry on a finish of good length. It’s a complex wine, not your run-of-the-mill Pinot Noir for sure, and it’s good to drink."  93 points.  Gary Walsh.  The Winefront.

"A terrific Massale this vintage with its cherry accents, wild strawberries, an abundance of warm spices and a heady fragrance of autumn leaves. It’s light and bright with fine tannins and crunchy, refreshing acidity. Very satisfying." 94 points  Jane Faulkner.  The Wine Companion

"Bright red fruits open on the nose with characters of raspberry and sour cherry emerging. The light bodied palate carries plenty of fruit intensity supported by a chalky tannin and light oak influence. Sensational mouth feel showing wonderful integration to present seamlessly and very long." 94 points.  Ray Jordan. Wine Pilot.
