Wine Review: This elegant north coast California Pinot Noir from Theopolis has a vibrant bouquet of red raspberry, leather, mushroom, and violets. In the glass, it's a brilliant deep ruby color. While on the palate it is medium bodied, with medium-plus acid, nice freshness, and a very smooth mouthfeel. There are flavors of black plum, cedar, clove, blackberry, and black tea along with notes of crushed stone, cherry compote, and tobacco. There are firm tannins that linger in the dry finish. Serve with white bean, tomato, and hot sausage orecchiette. - Mark
Winemaker Notes: Red garnet colored. Wild strawberry, vanilla, and subtle notes of toasty baking spice enliven the bouquet of this beautifully elegant Pinot Noir. The palate opens with jammy strawberry and firm tannins that are accented by notes of black tea and bright acidity. The wine finishes with warmth and lingering complexity. Pair with pork tenderloin, roasted vegetables, seared salmon, and grilled chicken.
