Shibumi Knoll Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019

Shibumi Knoll Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019 pours a gorgeous ruby color in the glass. The nose is highly expressive and perfumed, leaping forward with enticing aromas of darker strawberry, ripe raspberry, and sappy herbs, beautifully layered with secondary hints of black tea, spring flowers, and subtle forest floor earthiness. On the palate, this medium-bodied red wine delivers an elegant and vibrant entry with a silky, smooth texture. Its core of bright red fruits and dark raspberries is framed by remarkably fine-grained, supple tannins and a well-balanced acidity. Maturation for 10 months in French oak barrels seamlessly integrates delicate touches of wood spice, leading to a long, persistent, and beautifully sustained finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted duck breast, herb-crusted lamb chops, pan-seared quail, savory wild mushroom risotto, or artisanal aged Gruyère cheese.
