Vivid ruby. Smoky dark berry and floral pastille scents show impressive clarity, and cola and star anise nuances emerge as the wine opens up. Sweet, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering intense blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors underscored by a zesty mineral nuance. Smoothly plays power off elegance and finishes impressively long and smooth, delivering lingering spiciness and a suave touch of candied rose. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2016)

Very dark in color, very jammy on the nose. This one is a big Pinot. Very lush. For a young wine it is amazing.

Delicious, smooth, full bodied Pinot. Dark fruit and spicy undertones.

Better than I expected - really quite nice. Somewhere between a nice villages burgundy and a very good Beaujolais- has some spice and fresh fruit to go along with some good earth and bitter notes. Pretty seamless. Would not have guessed this is at almost 8 years.
