Product Description

Tasting notes

This wine is medium garnet in color and shows dark and red, brambly fruits, verdant earth and cola on the nose. The palate bursts forth with red and black fruits – essences of blackberry, pomegranate, red and black cherries as an earthy background layers itself into your mouth.

The rich, soft and voluptuous mouthfeel leads to a long, lingering finish with elegantly integrated tannins.

Food pairing notes

Showing delightful fruity tones it has some flexibility with regards to pairing. I think this wine right now, is tasting like an excellent Thanksgiving wine!

Vineyard notes

This is a small family-owned vineyard located in Sebastopol that has a nice variety of clones with great aspect and soil type to grow Pinot Noir. The vines were planted in 2003 and the soil is Goldridge – a fine sandy loam over a subsoil of golden yellow sandy loam and fractured sandstone. This vineyard has excellent drainage and low soil fertility.
