RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

... reveal black plum, cranberry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a certain strictness and linearity on the entry. This is nicely poised and focused with well-judged acidity...

91Wine Spectator

Polished and supple, this is gently etched with refined tannins around a glowing core of raspberry and peppery floral flavors, persisting expressively on the finish.

91Vinous / IWC

High-pitched aromas of fresh red berries, lavender and Asian spices... Nervy and penetrating on the palate, offering zesty redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors that gain sweetness with air....

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.
