Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Black cherry, cola and vanilla-cream flavors draw the nose deeply into this special block-designated bottling from a historic site. A firm texture and sizzling acidity provide a textural backdrop to the ripe flavors of red fruit and red flowers, with a pinch of mace adding spice. The finish goes deep.

Jeb Dunnuck, 95 points: Ripe black raspberries, tart cherries, spring flowers, violets, and a hint of leather all emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir Block 43 Bien Nacido Vineyard, a riveting Pinot Noir that has a focused, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a terrific sense of purity, precision, and length.
