Wine Review: This clear and dark red colored Pinot Noir from Ken Wright opens with a cinnamon and black cherry bouquet with hints of clove and Bazooka gum. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, and delicate. The flavor profile is a red currant and gentle graphite blend with notes of green tea and cinnamon. I also detected hints of pomegranate and a touch of blueberry at the very end. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and refined tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this sophisticated Pinot Noir with filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Blue and black fruit focused—Black cherry, currant and ripe blueberry are met with hints of maple, toasted vanilla, and jasmine. Playful on the palate with bright acidity and balanced tannin.
