This wine is like biting into ripe fruit – juicy huckleberry, boysenberry and cranberry. Soft tannins coat the palate, the nose is herbaceous and the finish is redolent of bing cherries.

Vinous – 2017 Child’s Play Pinot Noir
Bright red. Fresh red berry and candied rose scents show impressive clarity and energy. Gently sweet and vibrant in style, displaying seamless texture that slowly fans out on the back half. Closes with sharp focus, repeating spiciness and fine-grained tannins that lend shape and subtle grip.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate – 2017 Child’s Play Pinot Noir
Medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir has an inviting nose of cinnamon stick, autumn leaves, aniseed, crushed black cherries, earth and potpourri. It’s medium-bodied with dark fruits, firm, grainy tannins and good freshness, finishing on a spicy note.
