Light Red Wines
This Pinot Noir is made from berries hand-picked from vines scattered about the lush hills and cool valleys of Sonoma's Russian River. In this blissful landscape dotted with lofty redwoods between which morning fog slithers, precious grapes are collected and brought to the winery where they are fermented and aged for nine months in French and American oak barrels. This is no ordinary Pinot Noir.
Pensively purple in color and alluringly scented with marvelous aromas of juicy black cherry fruit, cocoa and ginger backed by lurking notes of cardamom and violets. The wine's flavors are boldly expressive and distinctly stacked upon one another as if they were painted by Rothko.
This Pinot Noir starts off with very light notes of cherry and plum that lead into a body with alittle more to it than I expected. It finishes up with the softness it started with and a touch of acidity.
Great value Pinot Noir for the price- bold yet balanced with soft tannins and a smooth finish. Perfect for drinking with or without food. Highly recommend!
