Tasting Note
Medium to full-bodied Pinot with black cherry, cassis and ripe raspberry, floral spice, thyme blossom and mineral undertones; dusty cocoa and blackberry on the finish. Elegant, focused and age-worthy.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, lamb, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, grilled salmon. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, miso-glazed black cod, Korean BBQ short ribs, shiitake & soy stir-fry.

Production Method
Strict parcel selection at harvest and again after ten months; fermented as a site-specific Pinot Noir and aged 15 months in French oak (45% new). High-density, low-yield viticulture; bottled with minimal intervention.
