NV Pinot Noir

NV Pinot Noir Reserve Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: This wine, while very pleasant now, should be enjoyable with age for a number of years. The color is a medium pale ruby with a slight brick edge. At first, aromas of cassis and spices (briar, pepper) show in the wine. With time you may notice tobacco, fennel, soy sauce and truffle characters as well. In the mouth, tart cherry flavors begin with the wines silky texture taking over in the mid-palate. There are more soy sauce notes and a hint of mint as well as some faint barrel notes in the late palate while the aftertaste is lingering and soft. In its youth our 1999 Pinot Noir Reserve should pair nicely with1 beef, pork or fish entrees. Any dish with mushroom accents (risotto?) or dried aromatic spices is recommended. As the bottle character develops it should match well with rich, earthy cheeses also. Enjoy this Reserve bottling!
