Wine Review: The ruby colored Pinot Noir from EnRoute opens with a black raspberry and stewed plum bouquet with a hint of black tea. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with plus acidity. It is also on the savory side. The flavor profile is a spiced black plum and black raspberry blend with notes of oak, black pepper, and black tea. I also detected hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and crusted stone minerality. The finish is dry, and its flavors and medium tannins are nicely prolonged. I would pair this Pinot with a seared duck breast with a pinot noir sauce. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A fragrant dried rose petal and berry potpourri flows a lush, juicy entry. Darker raspberry preserve and blackberry flavors fill the midpalate, with clove and forest floor accents showing through to the finish. This wine is opulent and silky start to end, with lovely fruit and spice notes that linger on the palate.
