2002 Valley Vineyard Pinot Noir

A rich and complex wine, this 2002 vintage of pinot noir has vibrant aromas of black cherry, violets, toasty vanilla bean and raspberry that leap from the glass exhibiting hints of wild mushroom. Graceful aromas give way to flavors of plum and cherry with a cran-raspberry essence crossing the palate with a delightful undertone of wild strawberry. A long and silky lasting finish is accompanied with soft tannins, which suggest hints of pomegranate, raspberry and cranberry inviting yet another sip.

Cost: $ 20.00 each, $ 216.00 per case of 12
