2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection: A Vineyard's Legacy
Introducing our 2021 Pinot Noir Family Collection, a distinguished expression of craftsmanship and terroir. This exceptional wine is sourced from a vineyard personally planted and nurtured by our renowned winemaker, Kale Anderson. Known for producing highly rated wines for several of his clients, this Pinot Noir reflects the meticulous care and expert knowledge applied throughout its cultivation, offering a truly refined and expressive experience.
Tasting Experience:
This Pinot Noir captivates with a deep ruby hue and a complex bouquet of red cherry, wild raspberry, and earthy forest floor. Floral hints of lavender and subtle baking spices add depth and elegance to the aroma, while the palate is graceful yet structured, showcasing silky tannins, refined minerality, and a delicate touch of oak. Each sip unfolds with layers of ripe berries, a whisper of spice, and a lingering, polished finish.
Spring Pairing Suggestions:
The vibrant and layered profile of this Pinot Noir makes it a perfect match for fresh, seasonal spring dishes. Its bright acidity complements grilled salmon with a citrus glaze, herb-roasted chicken, or a spring vegetable risotto featuring asparagus and peas. For a truly elevated pairing, enjoy it with sautéed chanterelle mushrooms, where its earthy undertones enhance the delicate umami of the mushrooms. It also pairs beautifully with fresh burrata and heirloom tomatoes drizzled with balsamic or a strawberry and goat cheese salad, making it an elegant choice for a springtime gathering or al fresco dining experience.
