Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Made from the Martini selection of Pinot Noir, there are 1,002 cases of the 2012 Pinot Noir Ryan, which comes entirely from the Widdoes Vineyard. Burgundian-like notes of raspberries, blueberries, sassafras, cola, tobacco leaf and barbecued meats are followed by a rich, full-bodied, multidimensional, big, earthy, savory Pinot Noir. Enjoy it over the next decade.

Connoisseurs' Guide
There is nothing at all bombastic or blustery about this bottling, and it, in fact, initially shows a bit of youthful reticence, but its sense of fine crafting and its marvelous fruity depth are evident from the very first sniff. It starts out luscious and slightly plush on entry and then firms without becoming stiff, and, while fairly full in body, it is exceptionally well-balanced and as lively as it is concentrated. It has the makings of a Pinot fit for the cellar, and we see a long lifeline ahead.
