RATINGS

93-95The Wine Advocate

...fabulously textured and deep. Black cherries, spices, menthol and licorice are some of the nuances that emerge from the glass. The Greves is a vertical wine endowed with gorgeous depth and sheer richness...

91-94Stephen Tanzer

...Vibrant and pure, with terrific sappy energy framing the primary flavors of crushed red cherry and minerals. This fruit bomb is enlivened by fruity, peppery acidity, which draws out the firm finish and leaves the mouth refreshed...

91-94Burghound.com

..dense aromas of menthol, cassis and liqueur of plum. There is a copious amount of earth influence to the rich, supple and big-bodied flavors that are a lovely mix of power and muscle on the mineral-inflected and explosively long finish..

Excellent undertow of fruit. Bitterness adds zest. Very chewy.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

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.
