Overview
This wine has a lovely, pale copper color. Aromas of juicy orange, strawberry, nectarine, and yellow plum complement the toasty biscuit notes coming from 4 and a half years on the yeast. The wine opens with a burst of red apple followed by gilled bread and toasty yeast flavors. A fine and persistent mousse and bright acid profile play into a powerful structure typical of Pinot Noir. The long finish carries into notes of strawberry and dried peaches.
Occasion
The structure of this wine calls for something rich and creamy to balance it. It’s excellent paired with a triple crème cheese to start a meal, but would also be delicious with a creamy shrimp fettucine alfredo.
