Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Pinot Noir Finn (two-thirds from the DuMOL estate and a third from the Occidental Road Vineyard) includes fruit from numerous clones, most notably the Calera selection. This wine shows some notes of sassafras, black and red currants, cherries, loamy soil notes and underbrush. It is a dark ruby/plum-colored, medium to full-bodied, and again, relatively concentrated like the Ryan. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

Connoisseurs' Guide
Lavish oak jumps out to an early lead here, but very keen fruit proves to be more than its equal before long, and, if colored by lots of vanilla and sweet spice throughout, this very deep and impressively extracted Pinot is governed by fruit first and last. It is full on the palate with a bit of coarseness and heat coming on at the finish to counter and contrast its comparatively mannerly beginnings, but its raggedness is no mortal sin as a few years’ stay in the cellar is certain to prove. This one is a sure bet that is eminently worth taking.
