94pts James Suckling

Instantly appealing pinot. Complex and powerfully fragrant with violets, blackcurrants and purple cherries, as well as fresh wild herbs and swirling spices. Then, a smooth, succulent feel to the palate follows with such sleek, fine tannins and a supple, silky run to the finish. Such a consistent wine. Drink or hold.

Highlighted with scents of sweet baking spices and milk chocolate, this brings ripe red-berry fruit along with drying minerals. The flavors dive deeply down through the palate, and the mineral-soaked finish lingers in the throat a long time. Give this another year or two of bottle age for a better drinking window.

Translucent ruby-red.  A highly perfumed bouquet evokes candied cherry, raspberry, allspice and succulent herbs, and a sexy floral note emerges as the wine stretches out.  Concentrated red fruit and floral pastille flavors are supported by a spine of juicy acidity and sharpened by an emerging mineral nuance.  Smoothly marries power to finesse and finishes with strong, gently tannic persistence and lingering floral and spice notes.  10% new oak.
