The color on this 2017 vintage represents the lighter side of ruby red, yet aromas are pure Pinot. In fact, this is a fantastic wine to enjoy everyday and a wonderful introduction to the pleasure of deeper Pinots from the region. The fruit aspect of the wine is dominated by raspberry – always a good sign, followed by notes of violet and a pleasant dried leaf aroma. While it’s still at quite a young age, the palate is pretty grippy in and of itself.
For the next six months or so this wine will be best paired with rich, fatty foods. Both lamb chops and pizza come to mind.
