The aroma presents notes of baked cherry and boysenberry with hints of tarragon and coastal fern, balanced by a warm, toasty note from the extended barrel aging. On the palate, a delightful, juicy entry punctuated by dark fruit, sassafras, and cedar leads to a long, polished finish. This wine has a velvety texture and is enjoyable to drink now, and will also reward those who wait.
The Tula Vista Pinot Noir is a superior wine for pairing with food, with its versatile flavor profile. It is particularly well suited to dishes with mushrooms or meats, and is a great selection for a holiday table.
