Winemaker Notes
Nice intense and bright color. The nose is very fruity, as a full red and black fruits basket, with delicate spices too, licorice, cinnamon and fragrance of flowers. The palate reveals a well-balanced wine, with a nice freshness enhanced by the minerality, and delicate flavors of cherries, blackberries and raspberries.

Pairs well with poultry or red meat, as well with heavier seafood and roasted vegetables.

Professional Ratings

95 Tasting Panel

This wine demands a pause, especially at this price. With a satiny texture, it’s juicy and aromatic with a pleasant mouthfeel. Great acid and a savory, long finish.

93 Wine Spectator
Precise and impressively structured, with refined raspberry, crushed rock and savory tea accents that take on richness and depth toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2024.

93 James Suckling

This has a wealth of crushed roses and foresty sous-bois with spicy red fruit. The palate is all nicely arranged with a very juicy and succulent build of grainy tannins at the finish

90 Wine Enthusiast
The entry-level Pinot from Maison Jadot’s Oregon project, this is aromatically dense with baking spices, baby powder and incense. There’s an interesting graininess to the mouthfeel, with tightly wound cranberry and raspberry fruit. The tannins are polished but retain a bit of astringency.

90 Wine & Spirits
All about structure at present, this wine needs some time to fully unfurl. For now it smells andtastes like lightly toasted oak and red cherries,round as pie filling, before finishing with well-honed oak tannins.
