Wine Review: This dark garnet colored Pinot Noir opens with an orange peel and maraschino cherry bouquet with hints of herbal tea and teaberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, soft and savory. The flavor profile is an earthy black plum with notes of orange zest and minerality. We also detected hints of black tea, cranberry, mushroom, and red currant. The finish is dry and its subtle fine tannins and flavors drift away nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Pinot with a cranberry-glazed pork chops or with roasted Cornish game hen. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of black cherry, blueberry, black currant, allspice, and loam are followed by flavors of wild raspberries, dark berries, and a crushed rock minerality. The dense entry is followed by a sweet and juicy mouth feel, supported by acidity, silky tannins and a subtle earthy finish.
