Wine Review: This medium ruby colored Pinot Noir opens a very fragrant red licorice, cola and peat moss bouquet hints of wild blueberry and lavender. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. We also found it to be balanced, rich, smooth and savory in the aftertaste. The flavor profile is pomegranate and red plum with notes of loam and red cherry with hints of smoke and oak. The finish is dry and its mild tannins and flavors linger for quite a while. The Panel would pair this Pinot with a Peking duck breast. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Jennifer's Pinot Noir is both elegant and powerful. It features aromas of boysenberries, violets, and lavender followed by flavors of black raspberries, black tea, and anise. The 2018 Jennifer’s Pinot is very dense, but with fine tannins and a silky, persistent mouthfeel. This wine is an expression of one of the most unique neighborhoods in the Russian River Valley.
