RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Vibrant fruit on the palate really impresses. Intense aromas of currant, mocha, game and plum. Very smooth, showing velvety texture, fine tannins and long finish. .

92Burghound.com

Spirited and expressive with supple, elegant, nicely complex flavors introduced by seductively spiced aromas that are just beginning to develop some secondary characteristics...overall package is wonderfully attractive.

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.
