Bright and zesty wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, in particular those featuring poultry and strong-flavored fish.

Highway 12 Pinot Noir is appreciated for its smoothness, nuanced boldness, and harmonious blend of fruit and spice.

Voss Experts4.5

Exhibiting a captivating garnet hue, the Highway 12 Pinot Noir opens with an aromatic bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of forest floor, underscored by subtle notes of clove and cinnamon. The palate is elegantly structured, showcasing a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and silky tannins. Layers of red fruit compote and a whisper of earthy minerality unfold gracefully, leading to a refined finish with a touch of spice and a lingering, delicate persistence. This Pinot Noir exemplifies the finesse and complexity characteristic of its Sonoma County origins, offering both immediate appeal and potential for short-term cellaring.
