Goedhuis, February 2023
The Pinot Noirs from California’s Cienega Valley often carry beautiful rose petal and bergamot aromas, explains owner Christian Pillsbury. This is absolutely the case in Eden Rift’s exquisite 2019 Estate Pinot where these distinct flavours infuse the soft, sensual and wonderfully high-toned fruit of red cherry, cranberry, raspberry and blackberry. A third whole cluster vinification and 10 months ageing in 30% new French oak confers sumptuous spice and a supple texture to the mouth-watering juiciness. The fresh forest fruit finish is long, earthy, and mineral with delicate floral inflections. Perfectly pure, terroir-focused Pinot from one of California’s most exciting cool-climate regions. Drink 2023-2029.

Vinous, November 2020, Score: 93
Vivid ruby-red. A powerfully scented bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense and candied licorice, while a suave floral pastille nuance emerges. Sappy, broad and expansive in the mouth, it offers sweet black raspberry, boysenberry and cola flavors that are braced by a core of juicy acidity. Closes on a sneaky tannic note, showing fine clarity, spicy thrust and impressive, floral-driven tenacity. Drink 2022-2029.

Wine Enthusiast, May 2023, Score: 96
Winemaker Cory Waller is in epic stride at this property right now, and this bottling is solid case in point. It's light in the glass, with aromas of fresh and dried cherry, mild game and dusty chaparral on the elegant nose. The palate perfectly captures ripe fruit yet retains lovely and rustic layers of tar and baking spice. The compelling texture pushes it into the next league.
