Brassfield Pinot Noir

It opens with vivid aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate laced with rose petal, black-tea leaf, and a whisper of forest floor. Estate vines perched at 1,800 feet in Lake County’s High Valley enjoy warm days and cold lake-cooled nights, building ripe red-berry fruit while preserving lively acidity. Silky tannins frame flavors of cherry compote, cranberry zest, and subtle vanilla, then resolve into a long, mineral-tinged finish with hints of cedar and savory spice. A brief chill unveils extra layers of violets and fresh earth, making each sip feel both elegant and versatile—ideal for everything from roast salmon to mushroom risotto.

Food pairing: Pairs best with roast salmon, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, grilled portobello burgers, margherita pizza, or aged Gruyère.
