"94 Zepaltas 2006 Sonoma Coast Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir -There’s brightness to this wine’s color and spicy aroma, more vinous than directly fruity. Its acidity captures the wind off the Pacific and infuses the wine with cool tones of red berries and forest floor along with earthy minerality. That balance makes it compelling and hard to resist. Though still youthfully tight, it leaves the mouth refreshed, ready for pan-seared salmon, roast chicken, roast beef or the table at the restaurant where you have ordered all three”

-Wine & Spirits Magazine, April 2008

"91 points Light, bright red. Intensely floral bouquet of red berries, cherry skin, yellow rose, violet and smoky minerals. A subtle vanilla quality builds with air and carries onto the palate, sweetening the tangy red and dark berry flavors. Silky, fresh, precise pinot with very good finishing lift and cut."

-Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

"Score: 89 Fragrant blueberry, blackberry and wild berry flavors are elegant yet intense, rich and well-proportioned, with detailed acidity, tannins and light oak. Finishes with a complex aftertaste. Drink now through 2012."
