Wine Review: This translucent dark red colored Pinot Noir from Chapter 24 opens with a black raspberry and black cherry with hints of blackberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, pleasantly acidic and smooth. The flavor profile is a spicy red plum and oak blend with notes of graphite, anise and black cherry. I also detected hints of blueberry. The finish is dry and its flavors linger and last for quite some. This delicious Pinot Noir would pair perfectly with Bon Appetit's classic duck, sausage, and ragu cassoulet. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A study in terrior in one word: Fire. It's more red-fruited than its counterparts, with scents of cherries, raspberries, cedar and forest floor. A tannic component to the texture girds the wine while serving as a springboard, keeping it high-toned and elegant.
