Angeline Reserve California Pinot Noir

Angeline's Reserve Pinot Noir is the embodiment of our favorite characteristics from some of the most acclaimed Pinot Noir growing regions in the state. Floral and spicy aromatics from Mendocino County, and bright red fruit with integrated, soft tannins from the Russian River Valley and Carneros, come together to make this beautifully balanced Pinot Noir. Each contributing lot of Reserve Pinot Noir is carefully monitored in the vineyard, and then hand-picked when flavor is at its most intense. After a moderate temperature fermentation, the wines are pressed and racked to 40% new French oak barrels, where they spend nine months maturing. We take great pride in crafting wines that truly represent their varietals and appellations. This dense, sophisticated Pinot Noir boastfully over-delivers aromas of fresh strawberries, wild raspberries, and spicy cherry cola. The bold, yet resolved palate has a clean, well-balanced acidity that ties up neatly with a complementary cream and caramel finish. Delicious with roasted duck or chicken, grilled tuna, salmon, and lamb. (from Angeline)
