This rich Pinot offers flavors of blackberry, plums, bright notes of tangy Bing cherry, hints of leather, spice and briary berry notes. It’s tasty on its own and balanced enough for pairing with many foods, like seared, pepper-crusted ahi, rack of lamb with wild mushroom sauce, or a quality burger with blue cheese. Available at BevMo!, Costco, and at Trader Joe’s where it’s $17.99 retail.
