Nose
This Pinot Noir exhibits complex violet and rose notes.
Palate
Ripe flavors of blueberries and dark cherries.
Growing Conditions
Its elegant structure is typical of the sandy, gold-ridge soils found in the Russian River/Sonoma Coast region.
Winemaking
Extended skin contact during a cold soak prior to fermentation accentuates the rich texture without extracting overwhelming tannins.
Aging
10 months in 100% French Oak, 60% New.
Food Pairing
A wonderful wine to pair with anything from a dish of roasted portabella mushrooms, herbs and roasted chicken, smoked duck and braised onions or salmon lightly seasoned with teriyaki flair.
