Bright ruby with a ripe nose of spiced plum, cherries, anise and sandalwood. The round supple tannins and bright acidity show off the black cherry, cola, bacon and cedar in a feminine fashion. The finish is light and soft with sappy undertones.

Tough to beat the price. Raspberry, cherry, clove, cinnamon, cola, cocoa, dried leaves.

This Pinot paired perfectly with Easter pork roast. Fuller bodied and quite flavorful. Another spectacular wine from Roche!
