Slightly reductive nose, earthy, funky, light florals and under ripe red fruit. Flavors follow the nose - a more savory expression, high acid, nice minerality.

Terribly disappointing. Ridiculously dilute, uninteresting. On the nose Slight, muted floral notes. Almost no fruit at all, limited acidity. It honestly tastes like someone took a mediocre cab and then diluted it in half with tap water. One of worst qprs in a long time.

A bit of a letdown. Both the price of the bottle and the rep they have with industry people made me expect much more detail and personality.
Deep ruby with a touch of purple. Savory notes on the nose with ripe red fruits, a hint of smoked bacon and baking spices. Balanced, but unengaging; just a medium level of acidity. It’s good, but far from great. Hoping it’s just this cuvée.

Medium ruby red with purple rim and purple tint. Raspberry, overripe berries, dark cherry. Fruit forward. Easy to drink but nothing special.
At the entry level of 2021 vintage, I preferred its Cuvée Anne (Chardonnay) much over Cuvée Ruth (Pinot Noir).
