Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir Emerald Ridge Vineyard 2015 |
Aromas of raspberry blossoms and a basket of summer berries and cherries lead the wine. Notes of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg add their spicy/savory accent to the sweet berries, giving the wine an added layer of interest. The bright summer pie theme continues in the mouth, with black raspberries riding on a satiny texture of plush tannins. A dusky sandalwood spice chimes in on the lengthy finish.
High toned in a rose petal aroma, the palate of this wine is bright in acidity yet medium in build and complex. The concentration of the vintage is on full display in velvety layers of raspberry and strawberry coated in nutmeg and Asian spice.
The bright and dark nature of the wine make it a great match for dishes like roasted pheasant, gnocchi in a pesto sauce, or grilled swordfish.
