PINOT NOIR
There is no loss of words for this generous Pinot Noir. The dark brick hue of this wine prophesizes deep flavors that are sure to satiate the most fanatical of pinot pundits. Aromas of candied fruit, brown sugar and spice suggest that this wine is all Pinot Noir. This wine offers up juicy cherry and raspberry flavors with hints of cinnamon and leather. The mouth feel is round and supple, and finishes with soft tannins.
After crush and fermentation, we used a combination of French and American oak barrels, about 18% of which were new. The wine ages for twelve months and is then racked to stainless steel tanks for a final blending prior to bottling.
This is definitely a quaffing wine and not a wine for long term cellaring. It has good fruit aromas and an easy to drink style that should be good with a variety of foods. Try some with a grilled burger or maybe with a hearty bowl of seafood stew.
