RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...opens with knockout aromatics that meld into dark red cherries, flowers and sweet spices. This is a focused, vibrant wine endowed with considerable persistence and texture.

93Burghound.com

...concentrated and quite serious overtly muscular medium-weight plus flavors that are shaped by a subtle touch of minerality as well as the dense but relatively fine tannins...finish of outstanding length.

TYPE

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
