In de Wine Advocate van december 2001 schreef Robert Parker Jr. in zijn eindejaarsoverzicht dat “de wijnen van Brewer-Clifton de grootste onthulling waren van al [zijn] proeverijen in 2001.” Nieuwe, gelimiteerde Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir van het beroemde Brewer-Clifton team. 96 Wine Enthusiast: Lovely and bright aromas of red fruit and rose petals are lifted by minty herbs and peppery spices on the nose of this bottling. A ripe cherry core enlivens the delicious palate, which is refreshing and engaging through zesty waves of green herb and black spice. 95 James Suckling: A suave, composed and subtle wine with great mellow fruit, spices and woodsy, savory accents. Medium-bodied, moderately tannic, aged in neutral barrels that Greg Brewer calls "exhausted." Hardly soft, though, it is alive with fresh acidity and lifted by fine-grained tannins.
