Wine Review: This clear and dark red colored Pinot Noir opens with a black raspberry and loam bouquet with hints of oak and black cherry. On the palate is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a red raspberry and red plum blend with notes of stony minerality and oak. I also detected hints of black cherry, cinnamon, and clove. The finish is dry and flavors and acidity and moderate tannins linger nicely. I would pair this Pinot Noir with veal Milanese. Enjoy- Ken

Winemaker Notes: Seductive aromas of Luxardo cherries intertwined with rose petals, fresh fennel, dark berry preserves, and a hint of savory earth. The youthful yet complex palate offers juicy flavors of sour cherries, blood orange, wild raspberries and with a dollop of tangy tamarind. Fine-grained tannins are balanced by firm acidity, creating a full-bodied texture, lending to an incredibly long, spicy finish.
