Black cherry, licorice, leather, mushroom, forrest floor and earth on the nose. This (Burgundian style) Loire Valley Pinot Noir is also lifted by a whiff of cranberry and wild strawberry. Lush and fine-grained; the musky red currant and spice flavors are supported by perfectly integrated ripe acidity. Finishes with an enticing return of fruit and a good acidic lift. The finish shows that you can drink this wine now, or it will also keep a few years.

Great pairing with veal, deer and poultry.
