Description

The Estate Pinot Noir opens with a complex aroma profile of plum, rose, Baking Spices and blood orange followed by a juicy palate and long finish. This Pinot pairs well with roasted pork loin, salmon, duck breast and mushroom risotto. A traditional Pinot Noir/Burgundy glass with a round bowl will convey this varietal's profound aromatics and structural characteristics. Serve at cellar temperature (55°-60°F). Cellar from five to fifteen years for maximum enjoyment.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée is dark and savory on the nose: red cherry and cranberry are accented by tones of tar, forest floor and amaro. The medium-bodied palate explodes with generous red fruit and complex spicy accents. It's structured by finely astringent tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a long, expressive finish. 1,500 cases produced.
