Canfield Vineyard lies in a uniquely cool area close to the coast. This Pinot Noir’s deep color and irresistible aroma are hints of the pleasure to follow. First comes the lavish fruit flavors led by sweet cherries, then dark, dark blackberry cherry. You might also find subtle floral hints, dusty earthiness and the merest suggestion of spice, espresso and certainly accents of wood and leather. Also notable is the wine’s soft, silky texture.
