Wine Details
Price:
$38.00 per bottle
Description:
A translucent dusky red color leads to classic Pinot Noir aromas of strawberry, cherry, hibiscus, forest floor, vanilla, coffee, and smoke. In the mouth, this Pinot Noir reveals flavors of bright cherry, cola, char, vanilla, and brown sugar. A soft approachable entry gives way to lush and full flavors pulling through the middle. The silky tannins and bright acidity dance over the palette and the finish is an assertive flush of mineral infused ripe berries. This wine is understated and feminine, a sexy silky Pinot that seduces rather than bludgeons the imbiber into submission. Think lingerie rather than leather! A low alcohol but complex wine with charm and depth, this first Pinot Noir from Limerick Lane shows that California can grow exceptional Burgundian style wines as opposed to the dark, super extracted, high alcohol, unsubtle Pinot Noirs so common nowadays. Grown on a knoll above the Russian River Bench, 4 miles as the crow flies from Limerick Lane, the Orsi vineyard specializes in low yield high quality fruit and only sells to 4 select wineries, Limerick Lane being one of them.
