Concentrated...blueberry preserves, raspberry, sweet tobacco, warm spice and chocolate aromas simmer in the glass. Rich and velvety on the palate with fresh dark fruit, liquid cocoa, black cherry and fresh turned earth. Acidity lifts it, preventing it from being jammy.
This wine doesn't tease, its affections are obvious.
We were able to taste the 1997 Family Reserve Pinot Noir during dinner at the stunning Quails' Gate Old Vines Patio in late September and the proof is in the providence.
These folks make unforgettable Pinot Noir!
