RATINGS

99Wine Spectator

Sensational concentration of fruit, incredibly long and opulent, echoing plum, cherry, strawbery, vanilla and spice. A profound wine.

97Burghound.com

Heady and wonderfully perfumed of largely primary fruit notes lead to quite dense and still completely fresh flavors of simply unbelievable depth and length.

94Robert M. Parker Jr.

Vividly pure, well-focused, black-raspberry aromas combine with smoky, toasty, new oak to provide a complete turn on. In the mouth, the wine is totally profound - elegant, rich, velvety, and a delight to drink...

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.
