Turning Leaf Coastal Reserve Pinot Noir 2001

Our wine is a carefully crafted blend of North Coast and Central Coast Pinot Noir. We have chosen the finest fruit from the cool vineyards of the North coast to create a classic Burgundian style -- flavors of tangy raspberries and strawberries, and a lively acidity. The slightly warmer vineyards of the Central Coast offer our wine its deep color and firm tannins. The styles of the Northern and Central Coast growing regions come together beautifully to create a well-balanced Pinot Noir where the whole is clearly greater than the sum of its parts. Our California Pinot Noir offers crisp, forward raspberry and strawberry flavors, a firm tannin structure, and a hint of herbal complexity enhanced by toasted oak and spice on the finish. This wine brings excitement to grilled salmon and lightly sauced pasta dishes.
