1 | Wine | New Arrivals, Pinot Noir, 2010

"Begins with inviting aromas of raspberry puree and fresh oatmeal cookies. The entry offers an intriguing hint of smoke and peppercorns that carry though to a mid-palate filled with silky tannins and cherry and raspberry flavors. On the finish, oak-inspired overtones of coffee and baking spice mingle with leather and fruit bringing this wine to a long, satisfying conclusion."

"Graphite, crushed rocks, wild flowers and dark red cherries are all wrapped together in firm, intense Pinot that isn’t ready to show all of its cards just yet".

"Beautiful ruby crimson colour with reflections of black cherry. The aroma is intense and is dominated by empyreumatic (roasted, grilled or toasted) notes. The attack is clear and the richness appears quickly, conferring roundness and consistency to the wine. Then tannin, already silky and distributed well, affirms its presence. This prestige red Sancerre wine has consistency and full body. It finishes on notes of maturity (caramel, fruit compote)."

"Savory and dark-berry-fruited, gamey notes, wet forest moss. Complex, supple tannins, lively. Will soften in the short term and continue to gain complexity for many years."

"Subtly-perfumed, red fruit, dried-orange rind. Silky texture, uplifting acidity, supple & balanced. Very pretty now, but with good aging potential for the medium to long term."

"Light on its feet and intense in flavor, offering tea leaf-accented cherry and pomegranate flavors, with nicely buffed tannins. Finishes with richness and deftness."

"A brilliant color of red rose petals and a nose of wild strawberries, raspberries, roses, violets and a hint of bay leaf. The palate explodes with fresh ripe berries and floral notes, and progresses to a velvety midpalate followed by a long finish that echoes with the wild brambly fruit found in the nose."
