“A perfumed and layered nose of ripe red fruit, anise, fennel seeds and violets. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Expansive on the palate with juicy red and black fruit, dried herbs, ground spice and fresh flowers all melding together, without coming across as too dense or rich, but rather lifted and graceful. Structured, balanced and long. Seriously delicious. Showing exceptionally well now, but will continue to get better. Drink or hold.” - James Suckling

“From the producer's own home estate planted in 2009, this is a gorgeous reckoning of minty sage, black tea and cool-climate hits of pomegranate and rhubarb. The tannins are strong and supportive and soften in the glass, showing graceful structure that complements the crisp, persistent acidity.” - Wine Enthusiast

“The 2018 Pinot Noir TBH Vineyard is fabulous. It brings together so many of the attributes that make the Small Vines wines so intriguing. Linear in build, with terrific drive, the TBH is all about energy. Red/purplish berry fruit, gravel, rose petal, blood orange and spice give the 2018 so much character. Caler and Swan clones confer so much nuance and complexity.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
