95 points - Cameron Douglas MS
"Immediately desirable bouquet with a core of ripe dark cherries, plum and dark roses; there’s a distinctive layer of minerality with stone and spice then a wild dried herb layer. Aromas of toasty barrel and wood smoke add in layers of complexity and depth. On the palate - firm textures from tannins and acidity are easily contrasted by the core of berry fruit flavours that reflect the nose. Harmonious, well made and length. A really lovely wine with concentration and pinosity. Best drinking from 2022 through 2030+."

Winery description
"All clones were separated into multiple small batch fermentations. With the cool vintage and very low berry count, no whole clusters were included. The fruit’s natural intensity allowed a very gentle cap management to be employed. Following indigeneous fermentation, the wine was pressed to barrel (20% new), where it remained for 10 months before bottling. Typically alluring nose, darker violets and crushed red petal. The palate begins with a demurely lush textural expansion, before snapping through a svelte mid, and strikingly mineral finish. The 2020 School House Pinot Noir will cellar comfortably for 5-10 years."
