RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

Cranberry and wild strawberry flavors show accents of spice, toasted herb, gunpowder tea and tomato leaf. Fresh and vibrant, on a crisp body.

90The Wine Advocate

Floral and herbal on the nose...adds hints of cherries and red currants on the palate....it's a silky, medium-bodied wine with a lingering finish of pencil shavings, dark cherries and earth.

90Wine Enthusiast

Red fruits and florals sit beside pepper, tar, damp earth, charred meat and cola characters. The palate is plush and satiny, with a grip of savory, earthy tannins and lifted acidity.

PRODUCER

Maison L'Envoye

Maison L’Envoye, or “the house of the messenger,” is an international wine making and distribution enterprise founded by Oregon winemaker Mark Tarlov and Old Bridge Cellars, a wine importer led by Rob Buono and Gavin Speight. Maison L’Envoye produces Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gamay Noir from properties in Burgundy, Oregon and Tasmania. The wines have earned scores in the low 90s from reviewers.

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.
