NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Meridian Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of a classic variety.The nose exudes aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries, and hints of earthy spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and silky, with a lovely balance of ripe fruit, subtle oak, and soft tannins. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant minerality. A great choice for any occasion.
