TASTING NOTE: A traditional method pinot noir and pinot meunier blend that is deliciously earthy with bright cherry flavour. The palate is pleasantly dry, crisp but also full bodied. Powerful and with a very good complexity offering a yeasty, autolytic character adding dimension. Solid value. Score - 90 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, March 17, 2017) |
