2008 Big Fire Pinot Noir

Wine Type: Big Fire, Our Wines, Pinot Noir  

Voluptuous, ripe. Coquettish. Vibrant, playful, warm. Honest, mysterious.

Rich chocolate, dark berries, fragrant new cherries and sinfully creamy texture.

How delicious will this be!?

With duck pate.  With fresh figs and goat cheese mousse.

Wait, another idea – let’s invite friends for fondue!

How delicious.  Did I say that already?

You’ll love it – bottle and soul.
