RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

An impressive, natural-tasting red, showing lots of ripe fruit married to toast, spice and intensity. Good, pure, clean freshness suggests precise winemaking from excellent raw material. Medium-bodied, with a long, lingering finish.

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.
