RATINGS

97Burghound.com

...elegant and seductive exceptionally ripe black fruit aromas replete with soy, hoisin, clove and anise nuances merge into wonderfully fine and refined linear and firmly structured flavors...

96-97The Wine Advocate

A startlingly dark, mouth-watering amalgam of purple plum paste, blackberry preserves, bitter chocolate, toasted walnut, soy, and raw beef intrigues the nose.

96Wine Spectator

Impressive and very fruity, smelling like cherry, red currant and spice.

95Stephen Tanzer

Multidimensional nose combines blackberry, violet and minerals with exotic spices, earth and underbrush. This, too, boasts superb energy and sappiness to its flavors of red fruits, spices and earth.

18.5Jancis Robinson

Very good quality of tannins, like a silk scrubbing brush. Persistent. Very silky indeed - and so sweet! Exciting. Complex.

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.
