Tasting notes:

True to the Russian River Valley appellation this wine offers aromas of black tea, cola, black cherry, cocoa, baking spices and nutmeg. The wine is lighter on the palate than the rich set of aromas might suggest. Bursting with cherry flavors, the wine has a medium palate weight and the tight, fine-grained tannins fromits youth have chained together and are starting to provide a velvety finish. As it ages, Starscape Pinots always soften into a lovely earthy wine.  A great wine to pair with a meal - particularly if you are having a pork tenderloin, a portabello mushroom or a beautiful pice of salmon. As it ages Starscape always softens into a lovely earthy wine. (Updated 2.14.21 - Alan)
