Wine Review: This wine opens with a fantastic strawberry and cherry bouquet. This is also a touch of heat on the nose. On the palate, the wine is round and well balanced. There is good strawberry like flavors. This wine is food friendly. The finish is dry and slightly extended. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: "Chai tea, rose and black currant aromas lead to a mouth of classic Pinot Noir flavors; spiced cherries, coffee, chocolate and grenadine. The finish is firm and bright with good length." – Luisa Ponzi
