RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

Exquisitely perfumed... cherry & spice, including a strong cinnamon component. It’s packed with elegance & finesse, yet reveals a rich panoply of flavors: raspberries, bing cherries, spice, plum, allspice, vanilla & thyme come to mind...

92Burghound.com

Extremely ripe, indeed even notes of torrefaction and roast espresso beans precede big, robust, forceful austere black fruit flavors... ...there is so much sap that I believe it will come together.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Tight nose hints at cassis, violet, meat and truffle. Firmly built, suave and penetrating; not especially pliant or sweet but harmonious acidity gives it good shape. Finishes with firm tannic spine and a suggestion of slightly funky wood.

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.
