RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Fleeting aromas of rose, black currant and mineral highlight this supple, intense red. It's saturated with dark fruit, stone and spice flavors that extend on the long finish.

...lovely aromas of cherries, berries, sweet soil tones, licorice and spices. Medium to full-bodied, this is a fleshy and enveloping wine, with an ample core of fruit, succulent acids and fine, powdery tannins...

15.5Jancis Robinson

Ripe and open if a little simple on the nose. The palate brings grip and bite that dominates the fruit a little, but there is a bright core of red berries and raspberry jam. Quite a chalky impression on the finish.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) 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.
