Sophisticated Sonoma Pinot with remarkable earthy complexity and silky finesse.
Stunning aromatics open with red plum and tea leaf, evolving into forest floor and exotic saffron notes. Silky texture carries deep fruit through layers of earth and mushroom. Truffle undertones emerge mid-palate, adding savory complexity. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight. Long, elegant finish reveals more tea leaf and spice. This 2010 has hit its stride beautifully. Drinking perfectly now but will hold another decade easily.
๐ท You want sophisticated Pinot that rivals Burgundy without the pretense or price tag.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Mushroom risotto with truffle oil, Grilled salmon with herbs, Aged Gruyรจre
