RATINGS

90-92Stephen Tanzer

Sexy, inviting scents of candied dark berries, raspberry, mocha and licorice. Then fat, plush and fine-grained... Finishes with decent acidity and solid structure...

89-91The Wine Advocate

It has a pretty bouquet with vibrant red cherry and raspberry fruit laced with crushed stone and damp undergrowth scents...palate is well defined on the entry with a gentle grip, the concentration already apparent but countered by a fine thread of acidity.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Plenty of stylish oak influence giving smoke and spice alongside just-ripe redcurrant fruit. Good volume and tension on the palate, with long, impressive persistence.

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.
