Wine Advocate Review
Rated 91
A barrel selection of Santa Maria's Bien Nacdio, Solomon Hills and Runway Vineyards, the 2021 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander is dark, brooding and toasted on the nose. The palate straddles velvety richness with charming grace, finishing with oak-derived flavors that meld with balanced, fragrant fruits. While in a similar style to the Isabelle bottling, I preferred this due to its additional energy and lifted finish. Drinking Window 2024-2033.
