RATINGS

97Wine Spectator

The aromas are seductive, exuding raspberry, red currant, cherry and spice notes.

97Burghound.com

...extremely rich, full and sweet flavors that are quite floral in the mouth, all wrapped in a detailed and punchy finish where the tannic spine is completely buried.

94-95The Wine Advocate

...coming onto the palate with a gentle wave of creamy fruit, almost shockingly open-knit and youthfully generous. Despite ample (refined) tannins, there is nothing to restrain a veritable gushing of ripe, juicy, sweet finishing fruit.

94Stephen Tanzer

...hinting at dark cherry, chocolate and mocha. Then ripe, sweet and voluptuous in the mouth, with a thick texture leavened by harmonious acidity and lifted by sexy spices and flowers.

18.5Jancis Robinson

Hint of cheesiness on the nose. Then the fruit kicked up and curled over the cheesiness with a lick like a satisfied cat...Very solid aromatically - lots of flavour buried in there – but then surprising delicacy on the palate.

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.
