Sparkling Pinot Noir

Sparkling Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: Superb red sparkling wines are relatively rare. But this Sparkling Pinot Noir has achieved the perfect balance between the depth and flavor of a full, complex red wine and the elegance associated with the style of méthode champenoise. Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the Carneros region, it was initially handled as a still wine with the exception of slightly more whole–berry carbonic maceration, then inoculated and allowed to ferment until it reached a perfect balance between color, fruit and structure. The result is a deep ruby red fresh and fruity wine with less of the tannins normally associated with a still red wine. Aromas of ripe plum, with a touch of clove and cinnamon underneath, play beautifully on the strong bouquet of spicy cherry, light cranberry and chocolate.
