Its midpalateis broad and well-rounded. Flavors ofhoney dew melon, peaches, apricot and orangezest merge beautifully toward a wet stone/mineral finish.Food Pairing: The ideal Northwest Summerwine. Perfect with our Pacific Northwestbounty of grilled Sockeye Salmon, Oystersharvested from area coves and bays, locallyraised Asparagus, and a cornucopia of StoneFruits. Lovely as is, with a simple snack ofRainier Cherries and some fresh Goat Cheese.What began in 2011 as a tiny, experimental wine has quickly blossomed into one of LeftCoast Cellars most unique wines. Crushed at extremely cold temperatures to insure nocoloration from the skins, the pure Pinot Noir juice is then fermented in stainless steel andaged on the lees for 5 months. The result is a wine that bears hallmark Pinot Noir aromas ofcherries and spice, with counterpoint white wine flavors of pear, honeysuckle and peach.
