Excellent examples of wines PERFECT for pairing with food. They specialize in making a wine that is beautifully complex and layered, but when paired with dishes that focus in on 2 or 3 good ingredients, is an ingredient you realize, "Wow, I can't this with out it".

Elegant, supple, soft - meaty weight, thyme, raspberry reduction, red plum skin, clove.

This is Ram's Gate's forte... Bad ass Pinot noir. Everything I tasted with a white label was awesome!

Still one of our favorite SonomA Pinots at this age. Mellowed little. Currant & Lilac.

Amazing Pinot. Heavier mouth feel and spice than I'd typically expect in a PN but fabulous. Spicy, delicious. Loved it.
