  • Score: 93 Vintage 2016 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of dried cherry, sweet spices and crushed rocks waft out of the glass of this elegant Pinot Noir. As the wine evolves in the glass hints of dried flowers and savory herbs begin to show themselves. The palate is regal with the fruit, herbal and earthy flavors all working in concert to show how pretty the wine is. Fine tannins and vibrant acidity lift the palate with each sip.

  • Score: 92 Vintage 2016 Vinous Media The 2016 Pinot Noir Blauburgunder is smoky and intense, lulling you in with its exotic mix of sweet curries, dried roses and crushed raspberries. This is silky-smooth yet lifted and tinged with salty minerals, as balsam herbs and hints of dark chocolate complicate its tart strawberry fruits. It leaves a coating of round tannins upon the palate, which is nicely offset by a bump of residual acidity, as violet inflections and nuances of blueberry slowly taper off. The combination of delicate textures and energy mixed with depths of fruit makes the 2016 Blauburgunder a total pleasure to taste. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

  • Score: 90 Vintage 2015 Wine Spectator Dusty tannins frame flavors of steeped cherry and raspberry fruit in this spiced, medium-bodied red, with notes of tea rose and sandalwood and a lightly chewy, mineral-laced finish.
