A popular young actress matures with time and becomes a star. She understands what it is like to be young and can emulate that with a sense of style. Medium bodied with aromas of dried cranberries and fresh raspberries. With food, it’s comfortable in jeans or an evening gown.

A man of good muscle tone, comfortable in the old moccasins he wears, smiles in anticipation of food roasting on a wood fire grill. Moderately concentrated nose of cherry and cedar. Medium bodied with an elegant structure and long finish.

As a parent to this wine, I know it quite well. Look into its eyes and you might see a penetrating hungry intensity. Or, look again and you might see something soft and sultry with an inviting wink. Aromas of black fruit and toasty oak. Noticeable tannins provide a smooth but firm structure.

This Pinot Noir has a presence that is very seductive. Black cherry aromas and flavors are indeed there, but tune your senses… there is a whole lot more. Like a friend who listens well and speaks with wisdom and humor.

This is the benchmark of Shalestone’s red wine production. Its passionate aroma and flavors are soft and sensual with satisfying structure and complexity. The blending of red grapes from my vineyards helps create a wine of legendary pleasure. (A red blend made from Cabernet Franc, Leon Millot, Merlot).
