Lucky You, a linked Palate Character!

This is a predominantly Smooth & Silky wine, but it shares structural nuances of Tone & Backbone as described in the tasting note below.

Tasting Notes

Medium bodied with slightly elevated tannin and acidity that are harmoniously integrated in the silky texture. There are complex aromas and flavors of red and black cherry, and notes of rose, herbs, forest floor and a smoky minerality that lingers in the layered finish.

100% Pee-NO NWAR

Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.
