2007 Three Sons Cuvee Pinot Noir
Perfect balance between earth and cherry notes
Tasting Notes
Color: Bright, clear ruby
Nose: Light fruit
Mouthfeel: Lighter texture
Flavor: A bit tight still. Can use some time in the bottle, amazingly. Fruit, acidity, and earth are there! But it will benefit with time.
Deep red to purple color; bright and shimmering. Dark cherry and earth notes, hinting between forest floor and mushroom. Perfect balance between earth and cherry notes. Long lingering finish. Delicious and aging beautifully!
