RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Prominent cherry, black currant, violet and mineral aromas and flavors... Linear in profile and mouthwatering on the long aftertaste...

94Vinous / IWC

...plenty of fruit on the nose...scents of pressed iris and a touch of cassis...palate is very well balanced with pliant tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and taut with a judicious touch of white pepper and sage towards the satin-textured finish. Gorgeous.

93-95The Wine Advocate

...very feminine, precise bouquet with dark cherries, raspberry, bergamot tea and just a hint of crushed rose petals...nicely detailed...medium-bodied with fine tannin, slightly crunchy in texture...very well poised with a mineral-driven finish that flourishes on the aftertaste.

93Burghound.com

...ripe and almost ostentatiously spicy and floral-inflected nose of violet, lavender, clove and red cherry scents. There is impressive concentration to the middle weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts a seductive mouthfeel as well as buffers the borderline robust tannins shaping the wonderfully persistent finish.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Markedly savoury on the nose. Masses of brisk energy with very fine tannins...

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.
