Accolades

We think our wines are exceptional, but you don’t just have to take our word for it. The scores, reviews, and write-ups below all reflect not just on the quality of our dry farmed, estate grown Pinot Noirs, but the entire Emeritus experience.

Some highlights:

The axiom of doing one thing and doing it well clearly applies to Emeritus Vineyards of Sonoma County. That one thing is Pinot Noir and they do it extremely well.

—Tom Hyland, Forbes (Feb 2019)

The most fragrant wines I’ve had the pleasure of sniffing in California. Each wine is elegant and crafted for those of us with delicate palates that like to savor every moment: from the first touch to the lips to the final escape down the hatch.

The wines show a common thread of concentrated depth thanks to the small berries harvested by the team of dedicated eyes, hands, and noses who nurture the property with daily attention to detail. Yet they remain elegant, without any excess weight.

—Meridith May, The Tasting Panel (June 2021)

Their lineup of Pinot Noirs are terroir-driven and unique to the micro-climates present within the vineyard. Ranging from light and fruity to full-bodied and savory, there’s a distinct difference between each and every bottle.
