Wine Review: This slightly opaque and ruby colored wine is not your typical Pinot. It opens with a musty black cherry bouquet with a hint of cola and forest floor. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied and savory. The flavor profile is a mineral infused black currant with notes of black licorice, black pepper, cocoa and oak. The finish is dry and nicely prolonged. The panel suggested pairing it with jambalaya with Portuguese chorizo or chicken mole. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The hue of our 2010 pinot is an alluring deep garnet with hints of blue. The nose reveals rich, bright cherry fruit backed up by impressions of earth, spice, violet and sweet wood. This wine is medium bodied with a touch of richness and viscosity, out into balance by the present, but integrated tannins. Flavors of black cherry, vanilla and caramelized wood shine through on the palate. (June 2013 release)
