Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012
Pale, bright cherry-red. Briary cherry, raspberry, herbs and earth on the nose, complicated by cola and smoked meat nuances; became more chocolatey as it opened in the glass. Supple on entry, then silky in the middle, showing flavors of redcurrant, cherry, plum and spicy underbrush. A rather understated, earthy pinot, finishing with a fine dusting of ripe tannins that turned a bit dry with aeration.
