Pinot Noir - Steiner Vineyard

Pinot Noir - Steiner Vineyard Wine Details
Price:

Description: The color is lighter than usual for Steiner but color has never been my number one measure of the quality of pinot (nor my number two, nor number three….). In any event the color is deceptive because it is loaded with flavor. Aromas of Queen Anne cherries, cardamom, wild mushroom and raspberries with a slight hint of menthol. In the mouth it exhibits flavors of fresh fruit compote, is lush and full and soft, with little tannin. Although the Steiner pinot noirs tend to do quite well with moderate bottle age, I have a feeling that this one will all be drunk before its time. 242 cases bottled.
