James Suckling93 pts

A smooth, supple and medium-bodied wine that delves into the deep black fruit and black tea elements of pinot noir. Snappy acidity and moderate tannins support black cherries, red cherries and subtle oak spices on a velvety texture. Drink or hold.

Hold

Windy weather during blooming led to a small crop set, then warm dry conditions ripened everything evenly. Small berries and thick skins produced wines of concentration, structure, freshness and purity
