One of Alderbrook Winery’s fabulous small-production specialty wines. “Delicate with right-on black cherry fruit and smoky oak, this Pinot Noir is an easy-to-drink, on-point version,” says Norm Roby of the Wine
Spectator.
“Bright raspberry aroma, elegant fruit flavors, toasted oak, hint of roasted coffee, easy drinking, ripe fruit, good length,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
“This is a classic Pinot Noir,” say the winery’s tasting notes. “Cherry, roasted mushroom, strawberry, and violet scents phase gracefully into spicy plum flavors. It is full-bodied and supple, with a firm center.” Match with pork loin roast, grilled salmon, quiche, pastas with pesto or cream based sauces, and fall fruits and mild cheeses.
