Great Pinot. Silky smooth with reddish/purplish fruit and that characteristic Oregon earthiness. Sadly this was my last North Valley Origins bottle. Some were better than others but this one was near the top. — 9 years ago

Aight, but wasn't blown away considering the 2012 version of this wine was in the top 100 for wine spectator! Good fruit, pleasant nose, but just dithers out. — 10 years ago

Top of the Cristom heap. An Oregon classic. This one balances red fruit and earthiness and lingers on. A great wine from a great producer. — 11 years ago

More "Morey" than "SRH". Assertive tannins and lots of whole cluster/stems makes this an intriguing Pinot from California. Recent blind tasting of 8 x 2010 top Pinot noir from all over the world this came out #1 for me. Complete wine. — 11 years ago

Just the perfect amount of oak to balance the chocolate/ berry notes. One the top QPRs of the year. — 9 years ago

Willamette valley Pinot is top notch. Very mild and light bodied wine with nice notes of raspberry and dark cherry. Dry wine but very fruity and bright. — 9 years ago

13' Just another can't miss Ojai! Please let it open up in the glass for 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting this much oak on the palate ,for recently visited Ojai chards. White peach, lightly salted buttered popcorn, wet stone, The acidity is beautifully structured through the wine. I don't think it's as balanced as the Solomon Hills 13'(just different) … amazing for a $35 wine. I truly believe this winery ,for the money ,is one of the top 10 in all of California! — 10 years ago

Tightly wound, coiled. Like a top flight white Burgundy. Nose is full of white fruits, pear, Fuji Apple. Bright acidity. Very long finish with lots of minerality. This is a wine that is lovely to drink now but will age for 10 yrs plus. — 11 years ago

This vintage shows more oak than in prior vintages. Big, bold, version of California chardonnay. Missing the elegance of last year. Still enjoyable. Just me splitting hairs. — 9 years ago
