Wine Review: This ruby red colored Pinot Noir from the Anderson Valley was very well received by the Tasting Panel. It opens with a very attractive strawberry and cranberry bouquet with a hint of orange rind. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a complex blend of tasty mild strawberry and chocolate with notes of gentle minerality and black tea. We also detected some hints of oak and red plum mixed in. The finish is dry and its flavors fade away nicely. The Panel suggested pairing the tasty Pinot with fresh sliced Norwegian salmon and or a pork roast. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: As the pinnacle of our portfolio, Ten Degrees embodies the depth and diversity of our Anderson Valley Estate vineyards. On the entry, it showcases notes of ripe red berries and strawberry preserves that are signatures of our Confluence Vineyard. As the wine evolves, it gains richness and drama, with a bold structural underpinning from our Split Rail Vineyard, and voluptuous layers of blueberry pie from Gowan Creek. Throughout, our Narrows Vineyard in the cold, northern end of the valley provides a rustic elegance, with accompanying hints of pomegranate, truffles and forest floor that carry through to a long, multifaceted finish.
