Tonight I’m finishing off a bottle of Onward Wines 2013 Hawkeye Ranch Pinot Noir. A few days ago I had an opportunity to participate in a really fun & informative virtual chat with winemaker Faith Armstrong. She crafts a delicious, lighter styled Pinot Noir that underscores finesses over ripeness and power. Fruit is sourced from Hawkeye Ranch in Mendocino County’s Redwood Valley appellation. This wine is translucent ruby in appearance. It is aromatic and inviting; supple but not shy, boasting a pretty red berry character accented by floral perfume and brown spices. The flavors glide across a slender frame, supported by ample acidity and fine tannins, with tart berries lingering on the medium-long finish. Only 230 cases of this beauty were produced; SRP $38.
