Twenty years ago we began our American Tradition Reserve program by selecting the best barrels from the best vineyards and creating a blend that represents the ultimate expression of each vintage.
Tasting NotesThis Pinot Noir has a beautiful ruby garnet color. Scents of black cherry, cedar, raspberry, a touch of oak, vanilla & spice leap from your glass. On the palate you will enjoy flavors of black cherry, red currant and cranberry with mineral and earthy qualities.
