RATINGS

92-94Burghound.com

A terrific wine of enormous potential displaying huge, sappy ripe pinot fruit with plenty of spice and earth mixed in. The flavors are big, in fact almost robust with an emphasis on cassis and black fruit. The length here is phenomenal.

90-92Stephen Tanzer

Intriguing nose of black raspberry, roast coffee and game. Lively and intensely flavored, with an attractive restrained sweetness and sound supporting acidity.

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.
