Erin Brooks writes:  Medium ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvée has spicy aromas of conifer, potpourri and forest floor with a core of wild berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate is silky and refreshing with concentrated flavors and a long, spicy finish.  - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 94

James Suckling writes:  This has innately complex style with a spicy edge and plenty of rich red-cherry aromas as well as earthy tones and forest wood. Some sappy undergrowth, too. The palate has neatly articulated tannins and flavors that run to quite deep, darker-fruit tones. Rich finish. This is convincing. Drink or hold.  - James Suckling 93

Tim Fish writes:  Taut and structured, with black cherry, bay leaf and dusky spice flavors that build toward broad-shouldered tannins. Best after 2022.  - Wine Spectator 90

92 Wine Enthusiast:
This is an exceptionally aromatic year for this wine, which jumps from the glass with spicy raspberry and cherry fruit. In the mouth it's sharp and a bit peppery, with some bite to the tannins. Aerate it if drinking over the next couple of years, or give it a bit of cellar time to smooth it out further.
