If you’re a fan of what Pinot Noir fans call "forest floor" you’ll love this dense, lithe wine. Black cherry fruit and mild fall spice serve to accent the rich forested character, with a creamy texture, supple grip and a lively acid driven finish that serves to help the flavors bloom long after the liquid is gone. I like this as a soloist, or try it with mild cheeses.
