Wonderfully spicy upper register black & blue fruit aromas complement the impressively concentrated & powerful mouth coating flavors blessed with ample amounts of dry extract and simply huge length... Bravo!

91-93The Wine Advocate

...exhibits abundant, nose- and palate-filling black fruits, prominent sweet spiciness, formidable though fine tannins, and a long, sweet, smoky, very lightly cooked and caramelized finish that is sumptuous even with the tannins.

Round, sweet, chewy.

The vineyard varies in elevation from 250 to 300 meters, and the terroir includes significant clay as well as thin, rocky soil.

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.
