| Review |
A beautiful classic Pinot Noir with a nose of rose petals, tart cherry, raspberry, anise and a touch of char. This wine is balanced. Cherry, raspberry, allspice, touches of vanilla cream, strawberry, and tart cranberry flavors throughout with a burst of acid on the finish. |

| Review |
Perfumed scents of strawberry, rose, mint, dark chocolate, vanilla pipe tobacco and leather lead into a velvety mouthful of black cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, strawberry jam and smoke. This stylish collection of flavors is carried through from the first sniff to the long, elegant finish. |

| Review |
"The most important things about this wine are its upfront oak and full-bodied character. The former brings vanilla, toast and sweet oak shadings to the black cherry and cola fruit. It's soft in acids, which may explain a certain heaviness, but it sure is tasty." |
