RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...displays an ethereal perfume of cedar, spice box, rose petal, and assorted red fruits.

92Wine Spectator

Supple, open-textured and inviting, letting its plum, currant and sweet spice flavors float easily through the refined texture, hovering over the long, delicate finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Spicy raspberry, minerals and a subtle whiff of incense on the nose.

TYPE

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.
