WINE DESCRIPTION
Salmon Creek Pinot Noir is a soft, easy-going supple red wine made predominantly from Pinot Noir with a small proportion of Petite Sirah, and Tempranillo to add weight and black fruit notes. The grapes are sourced from all over the overarching state of California, which allows Salmon Creek to maintain a level of quality and style year after year. The wine is oak matured, which lends notes of sweet baking spices, giving the wine a decadent dimension. Its rich, fruity style makes it a versatile choice for any occasion, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with grilled fish or poultry dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Salmon Creek Pinot Noir exhibits a vibrant ruby color, which is characteristic of the thin-skinned Pinot Noir variety.On the nose, you can expect to find aromas of jammy red berries, such as strawberries, cherries and raspberries, along with subtle hints of sweet baking spices. The palate of this wine is ripe and jammy, with flavors that mirror the aromas. The red berry notes are complemented by a touch of oak, adding an opulence to the overall profile. The acidity is well integrated, providing a round and pleasant mouthfeel. The tannins are soft, contributing to a smooth texture.
