96 points The Wine Advocate "The 2022 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict exudes a confidently graceful, understated swagger consistent across this vineyard's best expressions. On the nose, Tyler's expression is radiantly weightless, combining gorgeous, floral, spice and underbrush aromas that measurably gain amplitude with aeration. The palate echoes this ethereal quality with a translucent succulence that is equal parts vertical and horizontal, moving into a slow-moving, classy and supremely refined finish. Incredibly dynamic in the glass and already thoroughly delicious, this will be a joy to watch evolve over the next 10 to 15 years."
