Flush with bright red fruit, the 2019 County Line Pinot Noir opens with dried strawberry, fresh raspberry, and ripe Bing cherry. This brambly fruit entry is charmingly offset by earthen forest floor undertones and alluring notes of crushed rose petal and bergamot tea. The mouthfeel is casually sophisticated – softly textured yet invigorated by balanced acidity and expressive tannins that delicately linger.
From mushroom risotto to pasta Bolognese to grilled swordfish, the potential pairings for this accessible and expressive Pinot seem endless.
