Product Notes:
This Russian River Pinot Noir from the Saralee Vineyard, a past Bronze Medal winner at the Orange County Fair, has a nose filled with black cherry and plum with subtle French oak in the background. The mouth has a nice complexity with silky smooth tannins and a soft long finish. The grapes for this Pinot came from Saralee's Vineyard in the Russian River Valley near Forestville. Low yields and a long cool growing season, produced grapes with great complexity and finesse.

About Estate:
Eric Ross winery is a partnership between two friends who decided to open a winery. They chose an old winery just above the Russian River to begin their venture. This region is known for its excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and these wines are a reflection of that great region.

Food Pairing:
Pinot Noir is one of the most versatile wines to pair with food. It goes great with all types of meat including poultry and seafood. Pinot Noir will also pair wondefully with sweet, spicy, and umami (protein, savory) foods.

About Varietal:
Pinot Noir traditionally grows in the cool Burgundy region of France. Many attempts have been made to grow this grape elsewhere--with mixed results. In some regions of California, Oregon and Washington, this grape flourishes, and produces wines of great complexity and smoothness.
