Clear and bright garnet. Nose scared me at first being nothing but dirt. After opening up it gives black cherry, black cranberry, and forest floor (a.k.a., dirt). Medium light on the palate which echoes the nose. Medium plus acidity and sneaky medium tannins. A firm Burgundy-style Pinot Noir that’s a great match for high-end Old World fare or New World salmon, duck, or pork dishes. NV like so much from Champagne, so drink it (up to a year from) when you buy it.

Nov 11th, 2024The first thing that's you about this wine is the color. The wine is orange which I believe is the result of blending many vintages. I believe this is bc it is NV but I'm not sure. The high acid is so refreshing. The cherry and decaying matter is Pinot noir at it pinnacle. Champagne Pinot noir is amazing.

Aug 12th, 2016A lighter bodied pinot, low to moderate complexity. Drinkable, but I'd probably not buy again

May 18th, 2016Pale salmon. Looks and tastes like a flat rose champagne. Total wine dork wine. Doubt most people like this. Lean and a touch animal. Not sure what vintage, but showed secondary and some tertiary notes. More interesting than great.
