Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, flowers, herbs and spice, aged for 12 months in 15% new French oak. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and blackberry with toasty notes, tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb, oak and a savory earthy character. Nice!

Lots and lots of cherry in this California-style Pinot Noir. Earthy and complex. Lovely and intense nose. A beautiful wine that went perfectly with mushroom risotto. Paradigmatic of New World Pinot Noir.

Rich fruit, impressive concentration, but a bit sour.
