This wine was fermented in a combination of French and American oak for malolactic fermentation and extended aging. They then added a touch of Sangiovese to the blendan Italian grape varietal that adds spice and texture to this Pinot Noir. The final wine used minimal filtration to ensure the maximum expression of bright fruit flavors and aromas.
From the winemaker – “Scrumptious red cherry, plum and vanilla aromas are followed by ripe black cherry, plum, sweet spice and toasted almond flavors. This medium-bodied wine is elegant, supple, smooth and balanced – delicious by itself or with food. The finish is soft and lingering with a perfect integration of structure, fruit and spice.”
This wine pairs nicely with pork chops or other light poultry.
