Aromas of strawberry, cherry and vanilla are tinged with notes of tea and spice. The flavors display wild strawberry and red currants, which are highlighted by a hint of smoke imparted from the barrel aging. A soft, silky mouthfeel leads to a medium-long juicy finish.

Pinot Noir and fresh grilled salmon might be the match of the century. Because of its fruity character, natural complexity and relatively low tannin, Pinot pairs beautifully with a variety of foods. A great party wine with an hors d?oeuvres table.
