Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot opens with a fragrant and inviting raspberry and strawberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a mild spicy black raspberry with notes of black pepper. There is also a hint of black cherry mixed in as well. The finish is dry and its very mild tannins are slightly prolonged. This wine would pair well with salmon or pork. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The wine is a mirror, clearly reflecting a pure fruit focus, characteristic of this vintage. Luminescent ruby in color, its attractive aroma is perfumed with a mouthwatering medley of cola, red raspberries, plums and blueberries. Exotic Indian spices, a touch of earth and vanilla bean add complex accents. This elegant Pinot shows an invitingly rich entry. The refined mid-palate is soft, round and supple followed by a finish that offers balanced, restrained tannins. Appealing now, this wine will surprise you with its development. We suggest our Sonoma Coast Pinot with an appetizer plate of fresh local cheeses, prosciutto, and home dried figs.
