RATINGS

91The Wine Advocate

...pretty and winsome bouquet with pure red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, elegant and stylish, the oak neatly integrated but giving the aromatics lift...medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity, very cohesive.

91Stephen Tanzer

Laid-back aromas of currant, raspberry, smoke and earth. Quite dry and classic, with its dark raspberry, chocolate, spice and soil flavors showing a saline complexity... Builds nicely on the back end, finishing with rather refined tannins.

90+ Vinous / IWC

...vibrant Morello cherry and wild strawberry scents...medium-bodied with a taut line of acidity, harmonious and lively...

90-93Burghound.com

...lovely freshness and vibrancy to the intense and focused middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a powerful, rustic and beautifully persistent finish.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

...vegetal undergrowth on the nose. Lively and refined. Cool impression with very refined tannins...very charming.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) 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.
