RATINGS

96-98The Wine Advocate

It has a very composed and pure bouquet that gains in volume with time, with aeration bunches of wilted violet. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin, great structure and freshness here...

94-97Burghound.com

An overtly floral, elegant and airy nose displays a huge array of spice elements on the red currant, cherry, tea, hoisin and lavender scents.

93-96Stephen Tanzer

Lovely lift to the aromas of blackberry, licorice and violet. At once fine-grained and penetrating, even a bit unyielding today, showing strong medicinal reserve to its black fruit, menthol and licorice flavors.

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.
