ORIGIN

Carneros, California

Grapes

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

The aroma -- delivered on a delicate mousse -- hints at wild strawberry, raspberry, peach, apricot, honeysuckle and exotic spices. Similar flavors on the palate, finishing completely dry. Will gain wonderful complexity with aging.

Food Match

Exceedingly food-friendly, pairs well with salmon, and fresh berries.
