Wowser is it good! Wine Spectator gave this wine 90 and Wine Enthusiast gave it a 91, well-deserved scores. A full bodied Pinot with a velvety texture with big tannins that balance the bold fruit.

“Medium garnet hue. Inviting scents of black cherry, mocha and raspberry with hints of leather and menthol. Vibrant acidity and juicy flavors of raspberry and cassis bolstered by robust tannins. Layered, lingering finish of espresso, mint and wild cherry.” WN – 91
