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.
