This is one solid red burgundy. Waves of lusciuos pinot fruit with really sweet tannins and a long clean finish. The flavors of dark cherries and strawberries are dominant with a touch of damp earth. I went back to get more for the cellar. I had it with pan seared trout and basmati rice. 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. J.W.

An impressive, broad, fleshy pommard. Could've been a little closed off but the flavors were awsome. Aromas of cherry and liquorice follow onto the palate with round, supple, dusty tannins. I had it with espresso rubbed red deer and goat cheese. If I can find it I will buy again. J.W.
