Martinelli
Water Trough Vineyard Pinot Noir
Having this side by side with the 2007 Lolita Ranch Pinot. We have two dishes duck confit and baked salmon with polenta. Both wines obviously amazing with confit and surprising pair well with the salmon
Fresh cut ripe plum and dark cherry, cola, still super youthful on the nose.
The palate is dense but silky, vanilla, mixed berries, cedar and tobacco. Bright and vibrant. The heavy oak influence carries it through its age. Definitely needs a chill as the alcohol is a little hot.
Glad I'm having this wine with age
