Product Notes

Schug Winery Carneros Pinot Noir is a decidedly elegant North Californian wine. Its tantalisingly dark hue divulges an enticing palate of black cherries and ripe plums, whilst tasting notes hint at subtle complexities of smoke and spice. Undertones of fresh earth and toasted oak provide a multi-layered depth. The wine boasts an expertly balanced acidity that pairs beautifully with the slight tannin presence, leading to a lingering finish. Aged predominantly in French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir is truly a celebration of harmony. An exquisite choice for discerning wine connoisseurs, it is a brilliant complement to a range of dishes.

Tasting Notes

This classic Carneros region Pinot Noir offers a wide range of flavors and aromas, in the tradition of the finest red Burgundies of France. Clonal diversity is achieved by carefully blending several vineyard lots, each retaining its own unique clonal signature in the blend. The result is a complex wine with a rich bouquet of red cherries, raspberry and hints of spicy new oak. It has elegant flavors of strawberry and blackberry, followed by a juicy and spicy texture and a long silky finish. This wine pairs nicely with lamb, duck, grilled fish, and will improve with additional cellaring for 2 to 5 years.
