This Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red and black fruit, dark cherries, and candied violets. Juicy flavors excite the palate and are followed by notes of vibrant blueberry with hints of rose petal. The wine finishes with lingering flavors of toasted oak and vanilla bean.
Pair with roast pork with cranberry glaze or grilled salmon.
