Tasting Notes: This Sonoma County Pinot Noir is full-flavored and elegant. Aromas of bright raspberry have underpinnings of juicy black cherry and segue to flavors of boysenberry and warm spice character. The palate is weighty and well-balanced, with a nice bright acid, perfectly paired with food or enjoyed on its own.
