RATINGS

92Wine Enthusiast

...the most complex and compelling... Aromatic, with entwined scents of cocoa powder, rose petals and earth, it is delicate but beautifully defined with raspberry/cherry fruit, underscored with wet stone.

90Vinous / IWC

High-pitched red berry and floral scents, along with hints of blood orange and white pepper. Silky and incisive on the palate, offering gently sweet raspberry and cherry flavors... Finishes focused and juicy, with excellent lift and cut and late-arriving dusty tannins.

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

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.
