Raptor Ridge Reserve Pinot Noir

A generous nose of ripe black fruits like plum, black cherry, and blackberry, is backed up with licorice, cola, and hints of violets. The palate has a sweet, jammy, baked cherry entry which quickly shifts to wild ripe blackberries and candied fruit, with a hint of black tea. Not at all flabby, this wine has a terrific cleansing acidity. Balanced and ready to enjoy now, this wine could pair nicely with grilled lamb kebobs, or even steak frites! Or, hang on to a few bottles to follow that tremendously long finish through a little more cellar age.
