RATINGS

93-96Burghound.com

A classy nose of black berry and broad range of spices including hoisin, clove, anise, cinnamon and exotic tea that merges seamlessly into the rich, full and superbly intense and powerful flavors...

91-93The Wine Advocate

...offers tart, slightly bitter black raspberry fruit, deep meatiness and a marrow-like richness, a creamy texture almost paradoxically accompanying persistent, invigorating brightness of fresh fruit, and a long, intense finish...

91-93Stephen Tanzer

Suave and sweet, with bright acidity and underlying minerality giving shape to the broad chocolate and dark fruit flavors. Finishes with a note of licorice.

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.
