Though it seems like a one note wine initially, it reveals itself with aromas of rose petals, maraschino cherry and vanilla. In the glass, it shows compelling flavors of black cherry, rhubarb, black tea and subtle but long toast. It is a well focused, medium bodied, easier sipping wine. While it may not have the intensity of some of our pinots, it shows plenty of depth. Aged in less new French oak, it is ready now for your enjoyment to accompany dishes such as grilled fish, paella, duck confit, fava beans or most vegetarian dishes.
