Description
In a nutshell:
A delightfully aromatic Californian Pinot Noir from a domaine owned by the Champagne house Taittinger.
The lowdown:
Bridging the southern gap between Napa and Sonoma, the Carneros area, with its cooler climate is known for its sparkling wines. At Domaine Carneros, which was established in 1987 by Champagne house Taittinger, they also put a small amount of of their Pinot Noir into this lovely light and fresh red as well. Made very much in a Burgundian style, but with a result that's probably a bit silkier and riper, it was fermented in small open-topped tanks prior to ageing for eight months in French oak barrels. It's wonderfully aromatic with loads of cherry and raspberry fruit on the nose, whilst the silky smooth palate is full of bright, spiced fresh fruit.
When to drink:
Best served cellar cool, it's a brilliantly versatile wine which pairs well with grilled salmon, chicken, veal or pork and roast lamb in particular.
Suitable for Vegans
