Notes: Mild aroma, mostly of spice, but with a hint of
wood. Big, bold, fruity flavor (mostly
dark cherry) with a broad supporting spiciness.
More fruit, spices, and a note of dry wood on the moderate finish. Mild to moderate tannin.
For a village level wine, this has been a bit of a pleasant
surprise. Although it lacks the “funk”
and the complexity of a higher level Burgundy ,
it has lot of enjoyable Pinot character, especially the fruit and spice. Another example of the magic of Burgundy at a very
reasonable price (I’ve had Oregon Pinots at twice the price that deliver half
the enjoyment of this wine). This would
be an excellent candidate for an (almost) everyday wine. Excellent value.
