Tasting Notes & Profile
- Color: Pale to medium ruby.
- Nose: Ethereal and complex, offering a blend of bright, tart red fruits (cherry, raspberry, pomegranate) layered with savory floral (violet, rose) and earthy notes of forest floor, cedar, tobacco, and sweet baking spice (cinnamon, ginger).
- Palate: Strikingly elegant. The texture is silky, framed by vibrant acidity and fine, chalky tannins. The fruit purity is exceptional, delivering a distinctive saline minerality from the coastal terroir.
- Finish: Long, refined, and persistent.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
To fully appreciate its complexity, serve this luxurious Pinot Noir slightly chilled (60-62°F) in large Burgundy stemware. It excels with rich, savory dishes that mirror its earthy and fruity profile.
