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: $ 14.65

Valley Vineyard Pinot Noir Wine Information
*** WineWeb Test Data ***The Valley Vineyard I & II are located two miles from one another, planted to clone Happy Trails Vineyard in 1990. These are two distinct vineyards. From these vineyards come blackberry fruit and bold structures and flavors of bright cherry and raspberry with silky tannins. Located half-way between these two vineyards lies Twin views Vineyard, lending earthy characteristics of classic Test Valley Pinot Noir and a black cherry richness.
