Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot Noir was a new discovery for me at the Boston Wine Expo. It opens with a cherry-cola bouquet with a hint of vanilla oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and smooth. The flavor is a tasty cherry-cola with hints of black pepper, gentle oak and strawberry. The finish is dry and its fine tannins drift away nicely. This Pinot would pair well with a grilled salmon steak. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Rich, aromatic nose, dominated by sage, black cherry, mushrooms and forest floor, a silky palate and lingering finish. This wine will age gracefully for the next 3-5 years.
