Critical Acclaim

Wine Spectator - 91
Vinous - 90

Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. The nose offers aromas of blackberry jam, cassis, espresso and sage. Richly endowed with a mid weight plus charge of purple and black fruits framed by a substantial but complimentary tannic structure. Nicely crafted, with deft oak management, no bitterness, and some length on the pleasingly lengthy finish.

A fuller bodied Pinot with higher acidity and tannins makes this wine go magically with any red meat and game.
