Pinot Noir from exceptional vineyards in the RRV

"With beautiful red hues, this wine enters in with lovely and rampant aromatics of maraschino cherry, vanilla candle, light liqueur, and a very pleasant woodsy incense.   The palate is undeniably fresh with red fruit flavors filling and bouncing around in the mouth.  It’s a runaway wine that begins and ends like a Police song; just a ton of fun!   Racy raspberry, cassis and strawberry all nicely combine up front with an after feeling of cavendish and sweet clove.   I think this is a wine that can be enjoyed today but will double in 5 years and survive to 15 if stored correctly." Kirk Venge, winemaker

"This ever so smooth and elegant Pinot Noir raises the bar on fine and delicately balanced Pinot. This wine possesses an elixir like essence focused on ripe strawberry, cola and  cherry Chapstick. The bright red fruits rush to fill the nose and are wrapped and lifted with a supporting hint of candle-like French Oak vanillin. Soft round flavors of cola bean, maraschino cherry, strawberry creme fraiche and kiwi fruit. Sourced from Dutton family Widdoes vineyard." 100 cases.
