cherry, raspberry, light cocoa. this wine does not exhibit the earthiness and barnyard style that i was seeking. however, it is a well structured burgundy. it is soft and silky on the palate with velvety tannins.
it changes quickly. at first when it was opened, it seemed like an entry lever, acidic californian pinot noir. i decanted it and now as it opens up, it is beginning to express a lot of personality. 45 min. in the fruit is beginning to shine. like i said: raspberry, cherry, thing red berries...on the end you get the "browns"....what i get is chocolate. as you taste it you get well rounded wine. great fruit on the front, mostly ripe. towards the end, the true pinot noir characterists are converyed and then you can tell its old world - burgandy....unfortunately i am not advanced enough to go to further in depth about the specific appellation.

Light red/purple, red fruit on the nose... cherry, raspberry. Lean body with sour cherry and mineral on the palate.

A silkier version of the Machard de Gramont Chorey-les-Beaune "Les Beaumonts". However, it lacks the beautiful fruit that I seek in a nice burgundy.
