Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot Noir from Carneros opens with a mild red raspberry bouquet with hints of strawberry and lavender. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, rich and smooth. The flavor profile is a mild red plum and spice blend with hints of cola, minerality, oak and strawberry. This Pinot has an extended dry finish with its flavors lingering. The Panel suggested pairing this versatile and food friendly Pinot with rosemary lamb chops or a roasted garlic pizza. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Rich aromas of black cherry, blackberry and dried sage lead to notes of dark fruits with plush tannins, balanced acidity, and hints of smoky caramel from aging in French oak barrels. Pair this Pinot with grilled pork chops or stuffed mushrooms.
