"The 2016 Pinot Noir Pence Ranch Mt. Eden Clone from Drake Whitcraft is the deepest and darkest in profile of these Pinot Noirs, revealing lovely notes of crushed cassis, wild plum, currant leaf and forest floor. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, crunchy and vibrant, with a chewy, fine-grained finish and excellent length. Follow this over the next decade." -William Kelley

"Second-generation vintner Drake Whitcraft is diligently honing a delicate, fresh style of Pinot Noir, which shows expertly in this bottling. Aromas of crushed violet, under-ripe cherry, tarragon and spearmint decorate the nose. The palate combines raspberry with crushed mint, proving extremely soft and feminine. It would be easy to drink the whole bottle." -Matt Kettmann
