2022 STRATA Pinot Noir

Inspired by the geological term for distinctive layers of soil, our STRATA Pinot Noir is a terroir-driven celebration of the Russian River Valley. Fittingly earthy on the nose, offering aromas of truffle, fig, anise and saffron. The palate is smooth and alluringly deep, seamlessly layering notes of dark black cherry, blackberry and dried strawberry with hints of cola, mushroom, espresso and delicate chocolate curls. Enjoy this intriguing Pinot Noir alongside umami-rich shiitake mushroom miso soup with scallion and silky tofu, or with a lamb neck ragu with pappardelle and truffled pecorino topped with fresh cracked black pepper. For a dessert pairing, try with flourless chocolate cake dusted with cocoa powder, whipped cream, cocoa nibs and dried cherries soaked in Pinot Noir.
