RATINGS

95Jeb Dunnuck

Perfectly balanced, seamless and elegant, it's a complete Pinot Noir that has textbook raspberry, spice, forest floor and underbrush aromatic, solid mid-palate depth, lots of sweet fruit and a great finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Sexy aromas of black raspberry, potpourri, Asian spices and minerals, with a subtle vanilla undertone. Sweet and creamy in texture but vibrant as well, offering spicy red berry and cherry-cola flavors and a touch of smokiness. Juicy, focused and pure, with strong finishing lift and excellent persistence.

92Wine Enthusiast

...oak influence shows in the vivid vanilla and light maple syrup aromas and carries over to the flavors that show a vein of ripe berry fruit, too. Full bodied and velvety in texture, it has ample tannins that help carry flavors to the finish.

91Wine Spectator

...dense and detailed dried herb, bay leaf and dark berry fruit. Most interesting on the finish...

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Carneros

Carneros AVA, also known as Los Carneros, is at the southern end of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys at the top of the San Francisco Bay. The 8,000 vineyard acres are mostly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both of which thrive in the district’s cool, marine climate. Carneros became an AVA in 1983 and it has attracted foreign wine companies along with local producers. It has been especially appealing to European producers of sparkling wines including the giant Spanish cava producers Codorniu and Frexinet, and the French Champagne house Taittinger. Codorniu in Carneros is called Artesa, and Frexinet’s Carneros brand is Gloria Ferrer. Taittinger calls its Carneros winery Domaine Carneros. The European producers also make still wines in Carneros.

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.
