2006 Ridgeway Pinot Noir

The grapes that go into our latest Pinot Noir vintage come from five distinct Dijon clones that produce exceptional fruit and contribute to the wine's beauty and complexity. After fermentation, the wine spent 19 months in French oak barrels followed by 10 months in bottle before release.

It opens with aromas of plum, raspberry and ripe cherries; plus a hint of violets, leather, forest floor and vanilla. Made by talented winemaker Dan Goldfield, this is a classic Pinot Noir that is everything an elegant Pinot should be – wonderful fruit, crisp acidity, soft tannins, beautiful balance, and a finish that goes on and on.

We love it with grilled wild salmon, wild mushroom risotto, spinach salad and yes, even asparagus.

Enjoy!
