Cedar + Salmon, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Noir 2017

 Spicy raspberry and cherry aromas with a touch of rose petals and dried herbs lead to juicy flavors recalling raspberries and black cherries, juxtaposed with laser-focused acidity.  Integrated ripe tannins provide structure and mouthfeel.  Enjoy with grilled salmon, a natural combo from Oregon, or roasted pork tenderloin.  August Sebastiani, whose family history is entwined with the history of Sonoma, created 3 Badge Beverage Corporation in 2014.  Two years later, he noted that, “We are not diverging from tradition…by expanding our endeavors… we are evolving, but doing it on familiar soil. New brands, old sentiment.”
