93/100 with the following review:
Didn't disappoint. Full rich Pinot, lots of oak. Better than the 2012 but maybe not quite at the level of the 2011.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as
90/100 with the following review:
Oak-dominated pinot noir from California; very smoky, toffee, plum, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla. Dried fruit. Nutmeg.

83/100 with the following review:
Alex: Bright strawberry-raspberry fruit, some birch bark, cinnamon and vanilla. Gentle, satiny palate, fruity but woody in the end, without much flavour on the finish. Not my type. 83pts

Nose of tart cherries. Great acid and nice subtle berries. A medium tart finish.
Tasted April 3/16
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as
90/100 with the following review:
Tart cherry aromas with some raspberry, dried leaves, and a touch of spice. The taste is a quiet strawberry and raspberry with very little tannins and great acidity.
Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as
92/100 with the following review:
Wonderful example of a well done Pinot from the Russian River Valley - beautiful, bright ruby color in the glass with aromas of cherry, vanilla, and baking spices jumping out of the glass. Leather, toasted cherry and raspberry on the palate - smooth finish. Tasted on April 3/16.
Sylvain Segard rated this wine as
89/100 with the following review:
Bright ruby. Intense red cherry aroma with some plum, vanilla, soft oak and mild spices. Medium plus acidity, integrated tannins, and medium long spicy cherry finish.
Lynn van der Linde rated this wine as
90/100 with the following review:
Bright ruby in the glass, notes of cherry, vanilla, baking spices and a hint of earthiness, balanced acidity and enough lasting cherry flavours to pair perfectly with rustic pizza or light pasta dishes.
Tasted on 3 April 2016.
Donna Hargrove rated this wine as
91/100 with the following review:
As typical of Pinot Noirs, this is a light clear red in colour, which makes the cherry nose a bit of a surprise. Followed by the full flavour of plum and spice on the tongue. This is going to be a favourite of mine, I can already tell!

The Russian River Valley produces some of my favourite wines and this Pinot does not disappoint. Aromas of dark cherry fill the nose followed by a mouthful of subtle spice, berries, and plum. A smooth finish completes this terrific wine. I would enjoy it with pork tenderloin and even roast turkey.
Natalie's Review
MacMurray Estate Vineyards Pinot Noir 2013, Sonoma County, California, United States: Good balance with black cherry aromas and flavours but not overly sweet. Medium-bodied and smooth and a fair price for this quality, especially for Pinot Noir, which is always expensive because it's so difficult to grow. Produced by Ernest & Julio Gallo, this Californian Pinot Noir offers the balance that's the signature of the Sonoma region. Offers notes of sage, black raspberry and spice. Polished tannins. Drink: 2016-2019. 48207 13.50% D 750 mL $27.95 Score: 90/100. April 2, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Delightful Duck Wine Full Review
