Description

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 94
Candied Bing cherry, raspberry and cherry blossom aromas show on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate is lightweight and fresh, with flavors of cherries and raspberries that are lifted by accents of clove and mace.

Wine Tasting Notes
This wine is seductive and complex with perfumy aromatics and a succulent mouthfeel, thanks in part to the Swan clone used in this Pinot Noir for the first time. Deeply concentrated aromas of ripe red cherry are accented by a touch of cinnamon stick and a stone component. Flavors of baked cherry, dark earth and a hint of leather are beautifully supported by a luscious texture and remarkably long finish. The wine's superbly well-balanced tannins and layers of complexity assure great cellar potential.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
