90 Points from Wine Spectator: "Lithe, open-textured and appealing for its red berry, cherry and charred meat aromas and flavors, this persists nicely against slightly sandy tannins. Drink now through 2015."

Avalon Wine's "Wine of the Month." Rusty Gaffney, the Prince of Pinot: "Anne Amie Vineyards is one of the new stars of Oregon Pinot Noir...I couldn’t stop drinking this one. A terrific Willamette Valley blend that drinks like mother’s milk."

88 points from The Wine Advocate: "Aromas of spice box, incense, cherry, and raspberry lead to a structured wine with layered fruit and spicy red fruit flavors. Give it 2-3 years to fully unwind and drink it from 2012 to 2020."

"Bright ruby. Black raspberry, smoke and violet on the nose. Sweet, dense and velvety, with ripe acidity enlivening the dark berry, cherry-cola and game flavors. Finishes juicy and gently tannic, with tangy, smoky persistence." 88 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

"A pretty nose combines upper and lower register aromas that include a variety of red berry fruits as well as briar and earth, both of which are reflected by the supple, round, fresh and agreeably vibrant middle weight flavors. This delicious effort culminates with a well-balanced, dusty and mouth coating finish." ~ 89 points from Allen Meadows of Burghound
