Tasting Note:December 16, 2016

Medium copperish pink. Lots of strawberries and light floral notes on the nose. Undertones of fresh twigs and citrus notes. Crisp acidity (6/10) with solid minerality and notes of watermelon, stone fruits and melon. Slightly tart and light bodied. Medium plus finish. Does great with dumplings.

Second wine we have tried from La Pitchoune and Andrew Berge. Made up of 100% Pinot Noir from six different clones and aged in four year old barrels for two months. Only 163 cases produced.
