Winemaker Notes
The Linticlarus Pinot Nero is light ruby-garnet in color with seductive aromas of red cherry, wild berries, and violets. On the palate the wine is well-balanced with flavors of tart red cherry and red berries with hints of vanilla and spice. The tannins are silky and the finish is crisp and refreshing.
This wine pairs well with game, fowl and roasted pork as well as fungi-based dishes and hard cheeses.
Blend: 100% Pinot Noir

James Suckling
A lively and aromatic pinot with notes of currants, raspberries, button mushrooms and lemons, as well as spices like cumin and cloves. It’s medium-bodied, bright in acidity and sleek in texture. Tight tannins.
Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
