About the Wine: I first encountered this producer through their very forgettable Chardonnay. It is always tempting to dismiss a producer when you dislike one of their wines. That is often a mistake. A producer may change styles radically between varietals so it is often worth a second look.
About THIS Wine: It is bright red in the glass, much lighter than I am used to from California, but something I might expect from a delicate Burgundy. The nose presents good earth and black cherry notes. All that and more is there on the palate. The wine is not heavy, but it is rich, lingering, and satisfying.
Drinking This Wine: Roasted port or turkey would make a good companion.
Overall Impression: This drinks like Red Burgundy without the Burgundy price tag. As such, it is a good value.
