International Wine Report
"The 2018 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir is a wonderful showing which shows off its bright aromas of cranberries, pomegranate, red cherry cordial, sassafras and blood orange zest, alongside the lighter damp earth tones on the palate. Full-bodied and downright voluptuous, while having a wonderful combination of freshness and tension, this gorgeous Pinot Noir should have a long life ahead of it" - Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report

"All destemmed and brought up in the standard 50% new French oak, the 2018 Pinot Noir Wohler Vineyard is one of the lighter colored releases, yet it still has plenty of oomph in its raspberry, cherry, spice, and floral aromas and flavors. It's elegant, medium-bodied, nicely balanced, and a rock-solid effort that's going to evolve for 4-6 years." - Jeb Dunnuck
