RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

Pliant and inviting, with lovely top notes...super-expressive today, not to mention a real beauty. All the best elements of the Donelan house style are deftly balanced in this impeccable, absolutely delicious wine.

94Jeb Dunnuck

It offers a ripe, exotic bouquet of plums, macerated black cherries, blood orange, sage, and spices. Deep, medium to full-bodied, and ripe, it nevertheless stays pure and beautifully balanced, with considerable elegance.

90James Suckling

Ripe-plum aromas with plenty of wild herbs and bracken, leading to a palate that has a rich serving of ripe tannins and plums. Mellow finish.

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.
