Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with an attractive spiced plum bouquet with a hint of pomegranate. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and very approachable. The flavor profile is a mild cherry with hints of gentle raspberry and faint minerality. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This Pinot Noir is a crowd pleaser and very quaffable. It is also very versatile and would pair nicely many light dishes. I would pair it with rabbit cacciatore. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our annual cuvce of vineyards on Worden Hill Road. It celebrates Dundee Hills and our neighbors and friends surrounding the Winderlea Estate. Approachable and drinkable upon release, this Pinot is focused and bright with aromatics of raspberry, anise, and strawberry jam. The palate is seamless with ripe cherry, plum, and a hint of red curry building to a focused and finesse finish.
