Tasting Notes
Mountainous fruit on the nose gives way to a jammy center and an elegant finish. This wine is light-bodied with zippy acidity and balancing notes of juicy dark cherry, clove, and mushroom.
Winemaker Notes
“My love affair with Pinot Noir started in Ann Arbor at age 20. I was befriended by a linguistics professor and she was very kind to educate my inexperienced palate with Santenay, Beaune, and Pommard. As a suitable snack, her specialty was escargot drowned in butter, garlic, and parsley served with a petite baguette. Oh, mama! On weekends, we listened to Stanley Turrentine and I learned to make coq au vin and boeuf bourguignon in her kitchen. More wine sampling ensued, of course. A little for the stew… a little for the chef. You get the picture. This wine is a nod to my early wine education and my soft spot for Pinot. Bon appetite!”
