Wine Review: This dark ruby colored single vineyard Pinot from MacRostie is very good. It opens with a mild oak, gentle black cherry and black plum bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced, and very smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty mild plum and cherry-cola blend with hints of gentle blueberry and oak in the background. The finish is dry and its fine tannins drift away nicely. This Pinot would pair well with pork tenderloin. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Very dark garnet in color, with a big, brooding, black cherry nose, it shows hints of cola, exotic spices, black coffee, and toast. The palate is rich, juicy, and highly extracted, with bright berries and cream flavors. A wine with intense structure but no trace of harshness, and its finish just goes on and on.
