RATINGS

92James Suckling

Very perfumed with cherries and fresh strawberries. Medium body. Tight and polished. Forest-floor flavors.

91+ The Wine Advocate

On the nose, there is black pepper, cherry, balsamic poached plum, a hint of dark chocolate, oyster shell, crushed rocks and a hint of bone broth and red miso. The tannins through the finish are chalky and grippy.

16+ Jancis Robinson

Interesting herbal elements on the nose and some sweetness on the palate. Some mushroom notes already as this has evolved a bit... Clean, pure finish.

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.
