Full-on chocolate, mocha and espresso aromas on the nose and fleshy sweet dark cherry. Generous oak aging adds richness and those dark chocolate flavours. Supple and smooth. Pair with grilled chicken.

Pinot Noir food pairings: grilled chicken, veal medallions, lamb in a red wine sauce, roasted pork loin, grilled tuna with a pepper crust.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

An sensuous inviting nose of red cherry, earth and vanilla, followed by a palate showing cherry, vanilla, cloves, cinnamon and earth. Well-balanced mouthfeel with a medium spicy cherry finish.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A warm and inviting nose from this California Pinot Noir. Warm baking spices over cherry, mocha, black earth and violets. This wine is silky smooth and seductive. Enjoy with pizza, poultry, seafood or on it's own.
Tasted: April 2015
This is one of four single vineyard wines from this Californian winery. The vines for this Pinot Noir grow in alluvial soils of the Russian River Valley. Heavy fog rolls in over the coastal range and burns off when the sun reaches its highest point in the day. This cooling morning effect and the loamy soils allows the Dijon clone of Pinot Noir in this wine to ripen slowly but to full maturity. - Community Wine Reviews
