RATINGS

97The Wine Advocate

Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's sumptuous and intensely perfumed, with an ample core of fruit, melting tannins and a broad, expansive finish that remains unerringly precise.

94Burghound.com

A wonderfully expressive, complex and highly perfumed nose consists of spicy sous-bois infused aromas. The still beautifully intense medium weight, and mineral-driven flavors display excellent length along with the same wonderfully complexity of the nose.

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.
