Wine Advocate: 97 Points

The 2018 Pinot Noir Roland Green has a medium garnet color and slowly unfurling aromas of red cherries Angostura bitters rose petals and iron gaining aromatic detail and intensity as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate boasts concentrated spicy fruit a silky texture and bursts of acidity that refresh the long layered finish. Give it 3-5 years in bottle or some time to unwind in the decanter.

Vinous: 94 Points

Glistening red. Assertively perfumed cherry black raspberry pungent flowers and herbs on the incisive smoke-tinged nose. Delivers a suave blend of depth and vivacity offering appealingly sweet red and dark fruit floral pastille and spicecake flavors that spread out steadily through the back half. Shows fine detail and mineral thrust on the youthfully tannic finish which clings with outstanding tenacity.

Cellar Selection - Among the half dozen 2018 Pinots from Eyrie this is the tightest and least immediately expressive which suggests decanting and/or aggressive aeration prior to early drinking. It grudgingly reveals strawberry and black cherry fruit with a spine of iron. The compact flavors and inner rigidity suggest that this should be cellared and could easily improve for a decade or longer. Drink 2026 to 2035. PAUL GREGUTT
