"...a bold, powerful wine, with all of the raw energy that is so typical of this site. Bright red fruit, flowers, game and licorice are all pushed forward. The Fiddlestix is a big, brooding Pinot, but it is also very nicely balanced, with tons of sheer allure, something that young Fiddlestix Pinots don't always offer." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous

"A creamy red, with concentrated dark cherry, kirsch and damson plum flavors, supported by vibrant acidity. Cola and nutmeg accents linger on the juicy and well-spiced finish. Drink now through 2023." ~ Wine Spectator 

"...pale to medium ruby with scents of bergamot, violet, pipe tobacco, lilac, saline, dust and a light framing of new oak—lots of layers. The palate is light to medium-bodied and perfumed, showing great concentration and lovely layers, with grainy tannins and good freshness, finishing with a touch of oak poking through." ~ Wine Advocate
