Rated vintages

  • 201490 pts

    This vintage favors a blended, entry-level cuvée such as this, which comes on bright and succulent and ripped with lovely raspberry/cherry fruit flavors. There's a welcome touch—18%—of new oak, just enough to set off the crisp, fresh berry highlights.

  • 201388 pts

    This cuvée reflects the lean vintage with modest alcohol and slightly dilute fruit flavors. Pretty aromatics suggest rosewater and sandalwood, and the wine fades gracefully with plum and cherry fruit.

  • 201288 pts

    Significantly riper than the elegant 2011, this well-priced cuvée has some real muscle. Plum and cherry fruit are set in a rather thick frame of earth and rock, buoyed by moderate acidity. Just 15% of the barrels were new.

  • 201190 pts

    Classic, elegant Pinot Noir aromas introduce this delightful wine. Whiffs of flowers, citrus and fresh herbs accompany a tart, pretty palate with nuanced rhubarb, cranberry and raspberry flavors.
