RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...aromas of raspberries, cherries, blood orange, incense, spices and peonies. On the palate it's medium to full-bodied, deep and ample, with a strikingly vibrant, dynamic core of fruit that's structured around fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long and expansive finish.

92-94Vinous / IWC

...bouquet of vivacious red cherry, crushed strawberry and oyster shell aromas, all elegant and refined...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that frame the pure raspberry, cranberry, crushed stone and touches of oyster shell, particularly on the precise finish. Excellent.

17.5+ Jancis Robinson

Lithe, moreish, full of energy and the finest of tannin texture. Dry yet really engaging and great length. Elegant in the extreme. The tannins just a little firmer on the finish.

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.
