More Information

The Cherrycream Pinot Noir from California is a well-crafted wine known for its rich and flavorful profile. It combines savory and earthy elements like nutmeg and clove with abundant notes of black cherry and cooked plum. This wine is full-bodied yet is balanced with soft tannins, creating a harmonious taste experience.

This Pinot Noir is characterized by its rich cherry characteristics, a result of California's warm climate and the longer ripening time on the vine. The winemaking process includes night harvesting and cold soaking of the grapes to preserve their rich berry flavors and ruby-red color. It is then fermented in stainless steel tanks to enhance the cherry flavors and aged in oak with a mix of French, American, and medium toast levels for about seven months.

The end result is a creamy textured wine with hints of spice, offering a smooth, cherry-forward experience with silky textures on the palate. This quality is likened to the sensation of biting into a delicious cherry brownie. It is recommended to pair this wine with dishes like grilled steak, gruyere cheese, or chocolate desserts to complement its flavor profile.
