Wine Description
From the winery:
This Pinot Noir, made from organically grown grapes certified by the ECOCERT, bears the spirit of our estate workers, pedaling their way to our vineyards each day. Quite appealing with its rich, deep red color, this wine has a complex and developed nose that is governed by sweet wild fruit aromas, where notes of cherries and berries are enhanced by slight toasty hints. This Pinot definitely has a personality of its own; it’s tasteful, with soft tannins and an excellent structure.
