2005 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir RESERVE – SOLD OUT
Aromas of light strawberries and raspberries intermingle with flavors of pomagranite and rhubarb that will perfectly accompany smoked salmon or a hickory smoked pheasant. The silky smooth finish leaves a soft cinnamon touch and a desire to pour another glass.
