Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
“This wine is rich, lively, with aromas of dark cherry, plum, orange marmalade, dried sage, and notes of potpourri on the nose. The flavors on the palate are black strawberry, raspberry, blood orange zest, layered with clove, key lime vanilla cream, mineral, and a dry supple finish. pair with grilled salmon, miso glaze, bamboo shoots”
James Suckling: 92 Points
“A light-bodied, lithe and agile wine that's built on vibrant acidity for a fresh, mouthwatering texture and elegant fruit, tea and earth flavors. Moderate tannins brace sour cherry, red cherry, black tea and mellow spice flavors. Blended with 32% Mendocino County grapes. Drink or hold.”

“Outlier Wine Company is another project by excellent Bravium winemaker, Derek Rohlffs. His 2023 pinot noir is made from a blend of sixty-eight percent Lake County fruit and thirty-two percent Mendocino County fruit in this vintage. The wine comes in at a cool 12.3 percent alcohol in this vintage and offers up a lovely, complex bouquet of cherries, pomegranate, raw cocoa, a touch of Mendocino dill tones, a lovely base of soil, peonies and a gently smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, medium-full and intensely flavored, with a lovely core of red fruit, modest tannins and fine length and grip on the complex and very well balanced finish. This is a lovely middleweight that is approachable out of the blocks, but has the fine balance to also age gracefully. Good juice.”
