The Albatross Ridge Estate Reserve Pinot Noir 2013 is a lush red wine that shows a medley of fruit and forest flavors. Inspired by nature, the nose shows aromas of freshly tilled earth, black tea, rose petals, sage, and berries. These incredible aromas lead into a palate that is also bright and woodsy. Savory notes mingle with tart red cherries, rhubarb, and ripe cranberries. A mineral backbone completes this elegant red wine, providing excellent balance.

Enjoy this red wine with a variety of your favorite foods, especially wild game dishes or roasted pork.
