Another selection from the Duckhorn Portfolio, this one is their holdings in the California appellation series. This is classic California Pinot Noir, with aromas of supple red fruit, warm spice, citrus, toasty oak, floral notes, and dried herbs on the nose. The flavors are strawberry-rhubarb, cranberry cocktail, orange peel, coriander seed, mineral, and a dry, juicy finish.
Winemaker Notes:
This lush and graceful cool-climate Pinot Noir draws you in with enticing aromas of blackberry, bramble, currant, cedar, and earthy forest floor, as well as oak-inspired hints of baking spices. On the palate, alluring red berry flavors are framed by soft, supple tannins, with bright acidity adding freshness to the long, vibrant finish.
