NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Acacia Carneros Pinot Noir is a complex yet elegant expression of the variety.On the nose, aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and violets mingle with subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, a core of juicy red fruit is complemented by a hint of earthy spice and a delicate minerality. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering hint of dark chocolate.
