RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Supple and precise, with cherry and pomegranate aromas and well-knit red currant, green tea and spice flavors.

92Vinous / IWC

...Ripe red fruit, vanilla and cola on the expressive, smoke-accented nose. Juicy, oak-tinged cherry, blackberry and rose pastille flavors show very good depth and breadth, and a repeating cola note emerges with aeration and adds sweetness. Closes smooth and long, displaying impressive power, building tannins and strong tenacity.

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.
