Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot Noir opens with a ripe Bing cherry and pine resin bouquet with hints of saw dust and pomegranate. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and juicy. The flavor profile is a stewed black plum and macerated Bing cherry blend with hints of flinty minerality, wild strawberry, oak, and cinnamon. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This Pinot needs some time and aeration, to open up and develop. I would decant it before serving it with cherry amaretto chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2019 "Drum Canyon" Pinot Noir is a luxuriously structured wine with silky tannins and voluptuous layers of dark berry fruit. On both the nose and palate, generous layers of blackberry and blueberry mingle with notes of pomegranate and wild sage, with French oak-inspired hints of vanilla and baking spices adding depth and complexity to the long, velvety finish.
