Smooth, new world style Pinot
Description: Light ruby to garnet in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features cedar, dark cherry, plum, raspberry, beets, sweet cranberries, mushrooms and smoked peat moss on the nose. Medium+ body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: Some heat from the 14.5% alcohol.
Interesting Note: Use the balloon style glassware and chill it to 15C
Drink now or in the next 5 years on its own or pair it with Creamy Beet Risotto with Pecorino.
