Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $23.00 per bottle

Description: 2004 was a lively vintage consisting of small berries leading to firmly integrated wines. Scents of copious dark fruits and a hint of oak lead to flavors of black cherry, blackberries, and a cranberry top-note on the front & mid palate. Rich structure with a combination of acid and soft tannins on the back palate, give this wine a smooth edge, long finish, and a backbone that will cellar for several years. Our techniques consist of 80% new French Oak, long macerations, and small lot fermentations adding up to an intense, balanced powerhouse of a wine. This Pinot Noir has the stature to pair well with just about any food from beef and lamb to cheeses, pastas, and funky little chocolate things. It’s rich, firm and lingers seamlessly. The 2003 vintage helped us take a big step forward. 2004 promises to keep things rolling.
