RATINGS

94Stephen Tanzer

Scents of raspberry, minerals, spices and violet. Intensely flavored, youthfully tight and gripping, conveying terrific energy ... flavors of black plum and berries...substantial fine-grained tannins and outstanding length.

94Burghound.com

Spicy, fresh... ripe nose blends together more deeply pitched notes of plum, violet, plum, sandalwood .... There is impressive richness to the seductively textured yet quite powerful full-bodied flavors that possess excellent density

93The Wine Advocate

Bursts from the glass with a flamboyant bouquet of mulberry, black cherry, wood smoke and a lavish framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and intense, with a classically firm chassis of tannin.

93Vinous / IWC

A mixture of red and blue fruit, perhaps more floral than I have discerned in previous vintages, hint of crushed violet surfacing … palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe fruit with commendable density, a little more sinew and backbone

The vineyard varies in elevation from 250 to 300 meters, and the terroir includes significant clay as well as thin, rocky soil.

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.
