Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with a fragrant plum and black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a mild oak infused gentle black cherry. There are also hints of plum and black raspberry. The finish is dry and its fine tannins are elegant and very friendly. This wine would pair well with veal scallopini. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas and Flavors: Red cherry, plum, rose petal, brown spice, earthy/mineral, toast and toffee. Palate texture and structure: Supple, juicy entry and palate texture held in check by a firm structural element. Finishes with a pronounced gravel streak.
