Wine Review: This medium ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with black cherry, raspberry, and red plum bouquet with hints of clove, sweet tea, and shoe leather. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is smooth, balanced, and rich for a Pinot. The flavor profile is black cherry and black plum blend with notes of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. We also detected hints of red licorice and black tea. The finish is dry and its spicy flavors and tannins linger and last for a while. The Tasting Panel would pair this rich and food friendly Pinot with pork tenderloin or a dark meat turkey pot pie. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Showcasing the rich diversity of the Anderson Valley, this exuberant wine displays fresh, enticing aromas of juicy raspberry, summer strawberry and red plum, as well as hints of bramble, black tea, anise, sweet saddle leather and a touch of salinity. On the palate, bright acidity and firm, chewy tannins converge to create a supple texture that accentuates the Bing cherry and blackberry pie flavors, with sophisticated notes of nutmeg, cardamom and savory umami emerging on the finish to create a sumptuous and cerebral drinking experience.
