The Timbre 2016 'Opening Act' Pinot Noir comes from the Mission Ranch Vineyard, which was planted in 1961 and was among the first arrivals to the California Pinot Noir stage. This wine shows why the vineyard is still going strong more than fifty years later. Rich burgundy in color, the 2016 'Opening Act' Pinot Noir opens with aromas of black raspberry, baking spices, elderberry syrup, rhubarb and red licorice. The palate is velvety and boasts an explosion of black berries on the long finish.
