Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot opens with a fragrant strawberry bouquet with a hint of red raspberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and soft. The flavor profile is an integrated oak and black currant blend with notes of black pepper. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are mild and well controlled. This Pinot would pair well with broiled salmon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Wines from this vineyard show more rich earthiness and black fruit than the more red-fruit character of other lots in our cellar. A dark fruit intensity with stunning persistence is a hallmark of this wine.
