Wine Notes:  WINE SPECTATOR 91 POINTS 'SMART BUY' - "Plush and supple, with a juicy quality to the plum, raspberry and wild strawberry flavors. Fresh earth, cedar and spicy black licorice notes sneak in on the finish, along with a dried rose petal accent. Drink now through 2025. 18,000 cases made." Founder Peter Yealands’ vision is to create the world’s most environmentally-friendly wines. Constantly seeking new ways to work, he combines his love of the land with wines as bold as his ambition. These very approachable wines prove that sustainability always rewards with lasting quality. Certainly a pretty Pinot, there’s a bit of heft found within the depth of flavors and excellent acidity. The nose is rife with ripe cherries, savory spice and a deft blend of dark florals and rose petal. Cherries and mixed red fruits lead on the palate, while the forementioned acidity and soft tannins keep it balanced. Light earthy spice joins the velvety fruit for the rolling finish. Look for lamb and rosemary, tomato-based pastas or holiday parties for the best pairings (crowd-pleaser!).
