2009 Pinot Noir

2009 was an excellent, even-keeled vintage in Napa Valley. Consistently mild weather throughout the growing and harvest seasons resulted in stress-free vines, long grape hang times, and fruit with finely developed flavors at lower-than-normal sugar levels.

Our 2009 Pinot Noir has a fruitful nose brimming with dark plum, strawberries, and quince balanced with dark chocolate, anise, and a hint of leather.  A classic Pinot Noir body filled with strawberry jam, cherry pie, hints of thyme, and a light white pepper spice finish. 

Perfect with lighter meats seasoned with thyme, try chicken, duck, or lamb on their own, or incorporated into a pasta.
