Wine Review: This light ruby colored Pinot from Carneros opens with a spicy red raspberry bouquet with hints of strawberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, a little lively, and fruity. Its flavor profile is dark chocolate covered strawberries with notes of black raspberry, black pepper, and old oak. The finish is dry and its spicy tannins linger slightly. This Pinot would be a very good compliment to chicken marsala. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This Pinot Noir has a medium, more crimson color with haunting, Pinot Noir aromatics, complimented by toasty oak notes and caramel. It is a medium bodied, silky style on the palate with both cherry and strawberry fruit, finishing with the natural terroir flavors showing undertones of bay leaf and smoke. It finishes with clove-like spice from the wood. This Pinot Noir can be enjoyed now with fish or ham dishes now, and for the next 2 to 4 years.
