Carneros Pinot Noir Reviews

Score: 92 | July 4, 2018 | Planet Grape

Delicate, tart and dry with notes of pomegranate, raspberry, pink rose, juniper and cedar. 

Score: 90 | June 12, 2018 | Ultimate Wine Challenge

Excellent, Highly Recommended

Cola and vanilla cream soda aromatize the bright cherry and pomegranate core of this medium-bodied, fleshy wine. High-toned, but with a kick of wood-tannin, this is a great accompaniment to lighter proteins like grilled chicken.

Score: 90 | July 31, 2018 | Wine Spectator

An appealing wine that succeeds in an understated style, with nuanced flavors of light anise, plum, blackberry and tea.

Score: Platinum, 94 points | April 3, 2018 | San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge
Score: 90 | June 1, 2017 | Wine Enthusiast

A nutty undertow finds its way in this wine, which is marked by an earthiness of sage, clove and sous bois. Funky and desirable, it leans medium bodied in weight and tone, with an undeniable affront of blood orange and crisp red cherry. —V.B. 

Score: 92 | October 1, 2012 | Beverage Dynamics
Buena Vista is the state's oldest premium winery, and they have focused on using high-quality fruit from the region during their century-and-a-half-plus existence; an elegant ruby color; the nose is dominated by black cherry, red berry notes and spice; the palate has plenty of rich fruit; a refreshing, balanced and long finish.
