Review:
Earthy and herbaceous notes interweave with traces of black cherries and cranberries on the nose. A sip reveals flavors of cranberry, cherry, and plum which unfold into nuances of earth on the palate. A chipper, earthy Pinot with food friendly acidity, it would compliment duck or pork tenderloin nicely.

A bouquet of citrus and tropical fruit greets the senses. Flavors of pineapple, lime, and grapefruit emerge on the palate along with suggestions of fresh minerals. A friendly acidity and a lively mineral backbone make this an ideal wine to enjoy with food. Grilled chicken or shrimp would work nicely.
