Wine Review: This slightly hazy and dark ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with a pomegranate and black plum bouquet with hints of cinnamon and red licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plum acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, very smooth, and savory. The favorite profile is a tasty black plum and green tea blend with notes of stone dust, dark chocolate, and oak. I also detected hints of black cherry, black pepper, and marionberry. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate tannins are nicely extended. This Pinot would pair well with a duck breast with plum sauce. Cheers - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Summer strawberries, Bing cherries, dusty rose petals, and fresh tobacco with a crescendo of sleek, pillowy texture that extends into a long and memorable finish.
