Estancia Pinot Noir 2018

Ruby red color. Appealing floral notes of violet and lavender, intertwined with fruit aromas of cherry and plum. Concentrated flavors of black cherry, brown sugar, plum, and leathery notes with a silky mid-palate and a rustic toasty finish. Pairs well with smoked salmon, asparagus, pork, poultry, steak.

Shy aromas of red cherry and wet slate show on the nose of this widely available bottling. Its palate is down the middle for an affordable Pinot Noir, with cooked cranberry, a hint of pepper and the slightest touch of star anise.
