About the Wine

This wine displays a vibrant, ruby plum color. The aromas are deep with Bing and Rainer cherries while backed with vanilla and slight caramelized raw sugar notes. The palate is intense with wild raspberry, blackberry and bramble. These flavors are backed by intense earthy notes from black pepper to mushroom followed by toasted oak and clove. The finish overall expresses ripe berry and leather with a silky envelope of toasted vanilla.

This Pinot Noir does well with dishes highlighting duck because of the combination of the earthy and spice notes, but it’s the acidity that muscles through the duck fat and provides that pop that makes the pairing ideal. While Moroccan lamb, lamb biryani and other preparations work well, this Pinot is amazing with an Impossible Burger topped with grilled mushrooms and sautéed onions. Bon appétit.
