Tasting Notes
This beautiful medium-garnet colored wine blooms with aromas of rose petals that evolve into dried cranberries and raspberries as it breathes. With a lingering palate, enjoy notes of honey and dried cranberries with supple tannins. This particular vintage is an anomaly to the 667 clone due to the unique implementation of the MB-115 yeast giving it a more elegant and youthful taste. Relish your favorite book with a glass of our 2017 Pinot Noir magnum from the Rio Vista Vineyard!
