Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (91): This is a bright and fresh Pinot Noir with beautifully floral lilac and hyacinth aromas. Almost lost among the flowers is the scent of blueberries and strawberry tea. A laser beam of acidity illuminates flavors like tart red cherries, lemon basil ad a hint of cedar. Clean, brisk fun.
