Tasting Notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir expresses dark cherry, a soft juicy plum character before melting down into a lovely caressing texture of soft cinnamon and cardamom spices. Firm acids excite the palate with a medium plus finish of fresh red fruits and soft spice.
Food Pairing
A beautiful match with confits of pork and duck highlighted with berry-based compotes or sauces. Rillettes, terrines are lovely and so are light stews of spicy sausages or fowl. Spiced-up pastas with grilled seafood are good as well. Tandoori Marsala rubbed meats or fish would be excellent with this Pinot.
