The result is a pretty raspberry color with a clear rim and a fragrance of bramble fruits, strawberry, lavender, and mint. Texturally the wine earns structure from acidity, while its flavors angle towards flowers and berries with a pink grapefruit finish. Overall it is a cleansing, bright-hearted Pinot that’s refreshing with lighter cuisine. Try it with young goat’s and cow’s milk cheeses, especially bloomy rind, and lighter meats, poultry, and fish. It’s also great with vegan and vegetarian fare, the light texture and juicy acidity a good counterpoint to nuts, beans, dairy, and mushrooms.
