Once again, the Mount Eden clone is the rock star of the four clones of Pinot Noir grown at Regan Vineyards. This clone produces a wine that is fruit forward and vibrant, with a delectable richness on the palate. The 2018 Mount Eden Clone Pinot Noir is introduced with its deep garnet color. Aromas of jammy fruit, seasoned oak, earth and baking spice mingle pleasantly. On the palate, ripe fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and boysenberry are complimented by the toasty, sweet vanilla notes from the French oak barrels in which this wine was aged. This Pinot Noir is full bodied with a notable weight on the palate. The tannins are elegant and smooth, giving it a wonderfully plush mouthfeel.
Food pairings include rack of lamb, grilled salmon, gouda cheese and eggplant parmesan.
