Dalrymple Coal River Valley Pinot Noir

Dalrymple Coal River Valley Pinot Noir

Magic happens when the right elements collide and in this case, Coal River Valley’s plentiful sunshine, low rainfall and drying winds result in bright blue fruit flavors, soft tannins, and bright acidity. This Pinot Noir is like a well-tailored suit that fits in all the right places. Take a bow, Mother Nature.

Wine Production

The grapes for this single site wine are sourced from the Mt. Lord Vineyard in the Coal River Valley. Managed with detailed hand work, including removal of excessive vegetative growth throughout the season, these vines are well balanced with low to moderate crops.

Tasting Notes

Initial blue fruits, cola, and rhubarb aromas are joined by hints of rose petal, peppercorn, and baked blueberry pie. The fine, fresh, red fruits palate is imbued with hints of jasmine, darker cherries, and gingerbread on the long finish of this deliciously complex wine.

Food Pairing

Pair this pinot noir with pasta like strozzapreti or cavatelli with roast pumpkin, pine nuts, and bread crumbs. This wine also pairs well with miso crusted Atlantic salmon with wholegrain fried rice, shitake mushrooms, and nori seaweed.
