Critic's Review Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure. Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses.

My Thoughts This Pinot Noir was super dark red in color with purple hues. It had a gorgeous deep color, almost black. On the nose, it was slightly spicy with notes of dark red and black fruits mixed with black pepper. This wine was dry and smokey on the palate with notes of dark red fruit. It had a silky but dry finish.

This wine was not paired with any food.
