Wine Review: This clear and medium ruby red colored Pinot Noir from Theopolis opens with a marionberry and strawberry bouquet with hints of cherry pie. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, and fresh. The flavor profile is a red cherry candy and clove blend with notes of red plum and graphite. We also detected hints of black pepper, pomegranate, and jackfruit. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate dusty tannins are nicely extended. We would pair this Pinot with pulled pork shoulder platter. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Aromas of cranberry, tobacco, and baking spice enliven the bouquet of this wonderfully complex Pinot Noir. On the palate, wild-berry jam, plum, cinnamon, and notes of vanilla bean are highlighted by luscious acidity. The wine's rich body is accented by a long velvety finish. Pair this wine with pork chops, turkey, salmon, and grilled vegetables.
