2014 Tardy Pinot Noir
The first wine in our Winemaker Series, a collection of wine made by three different winemakers using essentially the same grapes. Jacques Tardy is the head winemaker at Torii Mor Winery and is an 8th generation winemaker from Burgundy France.
This wine is a vibrant red color. It has aromatics of dark cherry, rose petal, raspberry fill the glass. A lively Pinot Noir with round flavors of cherry and black raspberry with pleasing weight. Finishes with length, fine tannins and spice. Look for even more impressive development with a couple of years of bottle age.
