Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast opens with a mild black raspberry bouquet with a hint of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and very easy to drink. The flavor profile is similar to the bouquet. It a blend of mild black raspberry and black cherry flavors with hints of black pepper and a touch of vanilla oak in the background. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for a little while. This Pinot is very food friendly and would pair well with many foods. I would pair this wine with a tangy pulled sandwich. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2011 Pinot Noir invites you in with aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cranberry dusted with subtle notes of dark chocolate, purple basil and walnuts. This silky, medium-bodied wine leads with vibrant flavors of red raspberry and pomegranate seed. Wonderfully earthy undertones reminiscent of Shitake mushrooms follow, while hints of caraway seeds and cedar add further complexity to the smooth lingering finish.
