RATINGS

91Vinous / IWC

Pungent, spice-accented raspberry and cherry cobbler aromas show very good clarity and a building touch of smokiness. Spicy and focused on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering sappy red fruit and floral pastille flavors and a touch of musky rhubarb. Closes gently sweet and long, with resonating smokiness and smooth tannins that are quickly absorbed by the wine's fruit.

91Wine Enthusiast

This fragrant, musky wine is scented with dried rose petals, spiced cranberries, pepper and chocolate. It rolls comfortably into a full-bodied core with cherry cobbler, medium length and polished tannins.

TYPE

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.
