Aromas of plum, cherry, and crushed cranberry are lifted and concentrated on the nose, complemented by light lavender notes and hints of spice. You will find it to be rich and silky, with vibrant red fruit flavors, and subtle notes of earthiness and warm spice. The finish builds on the back palate, a signature of all Rombauer wines.
Our favorite Joy of Cooking pairings for this wine include Mushroom Ravioli and Terriyaki Grilled Shrimp.
We are proud to work with several renowned vineyards, all of which produce outstanding single variety Pinot Noirs on their own. These vineyards, Garys’, Sierra Mar, Lemoravo, Rosella’s, and Soberanes, represent the best of the Santa Lucia Highlands. We took these individual components and blended them into the final Rombauer wine.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
Clean and fresh aromas of black raspberry are enlivened by cola and minty herb on the nose of this bottling, the first Pinot Noir by this well-known Chardonnay and Zinfandel producer. There's tannic heft to the palate and a persistent acidity that cuts through the plush strawberry and raspberry flavors. -M.K.
