Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot opens with a blueberry and plum like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, well balanced, and graceful. The flavor profile is a tasty mild strawberry with notes of gentle blueberry, red raspberry and mild oak in the background. The finish is dry and its fine oak tannins are nicely prolonged. This Pinot is refined and very food friendly. I would pair it with delicate gourmet meals like squab, pheasant and rabbit. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This complex wine exhibits layered aromas of wild raspberries, spice and pain grillé. On the palate, the wine shows firm acidity followed by hints of dark chocolate and a plush, velvety mouthfeel. It would pair wonderfully with grilled salmon, domestic and wild fowl, and other savory main dishes.
