Our 2022 Charles Vineyard Pinot Noir received 94 points in Wine Enthusiast Magazine! Full review to come soon.

Reviewer Jim Gordon wrote: "It's pretty and fruity, but also dusky and complex in mushrooms and forest floor references. Baked cherry, sour cherry, earth and mineral accents plus redwood duff and bay leaf flavors that linger in the finish. Fermented with wild yeast, unfined and unfiltered. A distinctive and adventurous wine. Drink or hold."

Our 2021 Clone 05 Pinot received a Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!

Reviewer Jim Gordon wrote: "A good, mouthwatering balance and just-ripe fruit flavors bring a nice tension to this medium-bodied wine. Fresh, juicy red cherries, cranberries and raspberries are complemented by light baking spices. Aged in 50% new oak without at all overpowering the wine's fruit and freshness. Drink or hold."

Writer Clive Pursehouse wrote: "Another outstanding Pinot from Charles Vineyard, this wine highlights the classic elegance of a single Pommard clone—Clone 05. Aged in 50% new oak and featuring 25% whole cluster fermentation, with grapes sourced from three blocks and picked over up to five different dates, it presents a beautifully layered profile. You'll find earthy flavours intertwined with notes of fresh flowers, ripe red and blue fruits, and whole spices like cinnamon, which bring warmth and complexity along with delicate sweet aromas of baking spice."
