Villa Maria Private Bin Pinot Noir
A fruit-driven style of Pinot Noir with a lively personality, this wine expresses an abundance of red cherries on the nose, along with baking spices such as clove and cinnamon. On the palate, fruit flavors of cranberries and fresh raspberries are intermingled with freshly roasted coffee beans and soft cocoa like-tannins. Pinot Noir is incredibly versatile and will go well with roast chicken, duck confit, smoked salmon or simply with mature cheddar cheese.
'A vibrant cherry hue, this opens—after some swirls in the glass—with juicy cherry and strawberry, underscored by dried herbs and savory, peppery spice. There's oodles of red berry fruit on the mid-weight palate. Tannins are a bit pinched, but the fruit still steals the spotlight.' - Wine Enthusiast, 89 points.
