Carpe Diem Firepeak Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006

The 2006 Pinot Noir vintage has an intense and rich red ruby color with a luxuriant nose of red cherry, black cherry, exotic spices, clove and vanilla, with a hint of earthiness. Because of the wine's beautiful color, tannin structure and many berry fruits, the conditions are present for this blend to develop complex flavors and soft tannins by four to five years of age.

This elegant wine is truly a classic and shows the delicate nuances of fruit from the Firepeak vineyard from the Edna Valley. This wine is recommended for pairing with pheasant, elk, roasted duck, grilled seafood or French cheeses.
