Day #294 of the year.

Cakebread Two Creeks Pinot Noir

Today, October 20th, is none other than International Sloth Day! As the spirit animal of slackers and loafers everywhere, this creature holds a special place in our modern zeitgeist. After spending weeks at a time indoors throughout parts of this year, many of us have come to view sloths in a different light; they’re not lazy, they’re just “misunderstood”. If you’re in the mood to curl up on the couch and access your inner sloth, consider doing so with the Cakebread Two Creeks Pinot Noir. This vibrant red pairs especially well with fresh seafood and red meats.

ORIGIN

Anderson Valley

Grapes

100% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

Aromas of sweet black cherry, raspberry, rose petal and violet carry over onto a fresh palate of raspberry and flavors. Round, silky tannins support the bright fruit, and a touch of minerality complements the delicious red fruit expression over a smooth finish.

Food Match

Delicious with seared tuna or swordfish, pork or lighter red meats.
