Wine Review: This clear and dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from Cristom opens with a light strawberry and rose petals bouquet with hints of leather, mushroom, and violets. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, mouthwatering, and savory. The flavor profile is a black plum and mushroom blend with notes of stony minerality and lingonberry. We also detected hints of clove, black pepper, oak, and black tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and refined tannins drift away nicely. We would pair this Oregon Pinot with seared tuna, turkey tetrazzini, or with wild mushroom risotto. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Captivating dark and candied aromas of red miso, holiday spice, black cherries, and cola. Elegantly effusive on the palate with savory tannins suggesting Umami characteristics, combined with flavors of sweet earth and blackberry. Pair with Hungarian mushroom soup.
