Pinot Noir, Fraenkle Cheshier Vineyard
This enticing wine from Sebastopol Hills shows vivid ruby with a hint of blue in the glass and vibrant aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and spice. A luxurious palate with notes of cherry, raspberry, black tea, and savory herbs builds volume as it introduces structured tannins and bright acidity. Demonstrating both good tension and an elegant balance, the finish is complex with added notes of plum and clay-like minerality.
