Wine Review: In a recent tasting with winemaker, Melissa Stackhouse, I told her I thought this was her perfect Pinot to pair with salmon. This bright cherry colored wine opens with a very aromatic spicy raspberry bouquet with hints of cranberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced, elegant, and gentle. It displays savory raspberry flavors with notes of blueberry detected as well. This is a very easy wine to consume and a second glass is not far behind the first. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins linger nicely. As I mentioned earlier, serve this finesse Pinot with grilled salmon and enjoy! – Ken

Winemaker Notes: "Anderson Valley Pinot is hugely expressive. The 2007 offers delicate aromas of blueberry and cocoa, with underlying notes of tea leaves and flowers. Juicy flavors of dark bramble and plum, with a hint of spice and coffee, lead to a broad, sturdy finish." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker
