Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot Noir from Russian River opens with a craisin and black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and juicy. The flavor profile is a mineral infused plum with notes of thyme and oak. There is a hint of cranberry mixed in, as well. The finish is dry and its acidity and fruit linger for quite some time. This Pinot would pair well with a pork tenderloin. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: From the moment, you see the vibrant ruby hue of this Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir, you are enveloped in the essence of plump and juicy berries. Its tantalizing bouquet of cherries and raspberry is underscored by beautiful dried rose petals, spicy cloves and savory black olives. The palate unbuttons to reveal flavors of wild berry trifle, ripe raspberries and minty eucalyptus. Its harmonious blend of power and finesse is supported by a framework of tannin and acidity that creates a wine perfect for both the dinner table and the cellar.
