Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot Noir from Anton Stone opens with a marionberry and black cherry-cola bouquet with hints of cedar, spice, and black plum. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is stewed black plum and black pepper blend with notes of black raspberry and clove. We also detected hints of cedar, cocoa, and coffee grounds. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and integrated medium tannins. We would pair this bold-styled Pinot with a pan-seared duck breast or a charcuterie board. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This collector wine embodies the bold spirit of Hang10 punk rock attitude, delivering a symphony of flavors including ripe cherries, blackberries, and spicy undertones of clove and cinnamon. Each sip is a thrilling ride, akin to catching a wild wave in a mosh waltz (if there ever was one), promising an unforgettable tasting adventure. But beyond the chaos lies depth and sophistication. This Pinot Noir serves as the ideal sidekick for risotto and paella, infusing a rebellious twist into traditional dishes and taking your dining experience to the next level!
