Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"A fresh, harmonious version, this red delivers black cherry, blackberry, floral, earth and spice flavors on an open, fluid profile. Almost seamless and silky, with a subtle impression of dusty tannins and oak spices lining the long finish. Best from 2026 through 2042." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Clear ruby color, brilliant with morello cherry reflections. A fresh wine, vibrant on fresh red fruits (cherries), and has a tannic structure that is quite dense but without rigidity. Deep and complex. One feels the crisp cherry of the pinot in a silky tannin envelope with a long and acidic finish. The palate is ample, structured, and has great elegance." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
