Wine Review: I recently tried this gem recently at a trade tasting. I was quite impressed. This bright ruby wine opens with a light cherry like bouquet with hints of light oak and forest floor. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, impeccably balanced and silky with no hard edges at all. If you like smooth Pinot, this one is for you. The flavor profile is a delightful black cherry. The finish is dry and has well managed tannins that are nicely prolonged. This wine is a perfect match for grilled salmon. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2006 Arcus Estate opens with intense fl oral and fruit aromas of violet and rose petal, fresh black cherry and red currant. The palate is generous, confectionary and concentrated with notes of black cherries and raspberries, star anise and mulling spices. Saturated with fruit on the palate, this wine shows great depth and succulence with plush, integrated tannins and persisting notes of floral spice and fresh berries.
