RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

There is wonderful delineation & exuberance here. The palate is medium-bodied with a lively, spicy, white pepper-tinged entry, just a faint hint of black truffle tincturing the dark berry fruit. There is superb backbone and density here...

95+ Stephen Tanzer

Wonderfully sappy, floral nose shows more red fruits than black, along with complementary oak spices. Tactile, salty and sharply delineated, conveying outstanding lift to its classically dry flavors of red berries and spices.

95Burghound.com

...excellent muscle and intensity to the mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that deliver stunningly good complexity on the impressively concentrated but seamlessly well-balanced finale that really fans out as it sits on the palate.

18Jancis Robinson

Red fruited, almost a little floral, gradually releasing a hint of baking spice but there’s more savoury spice too. Delicate note of stems. Wow, this is dramatically expressive on the palate, full of bright fresh fruit and great energy.

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.
