Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with a Dr. Pepper and strawberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, soft and smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty mild black cherry with notes of mild minerality and strawberry. I also detected hints of clove and a touch of vanilla-cola. The finish is dry and its gentle tannins and flavors drift away nicely. I would pair this Pinot with fettuccine ai frutti di mare. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Gorgeous and consistent, this garnet-colored Pinot Noir boasts pretty aromas of rose petal, clove, cinnamon, and strawberry rhubarb with flavors of maple, black cherry, milk chocolate, vanilla milkshake and that unmistakable Russian River minerality.
