Product Notes:
The Lauterbach Pinot Noir is a lovely ruby color and has a very fruity nose that continues onto the palate. Aromas of chocolate and plum abound in the bouquet followed by flavors of the same. Perfect paired with a range of foods from salmon to lamb, the wine finishes long and memorably.

About Estate:
The estate vineyard of Lauterbach Cellars is located in the heart of Sonoma County's Russian River appellation, an area famous for its Pinot Noir. Stew and Barb Lauterbach purchased the 15 acre parcel in 1992. Land preparation began in 1995 and 7.8 acres of Pinot Noir were planted in 1996. Three acres of Syrah clone 877 followed in 1998. They started making homemade wines with the first harvest and those wines met rave reviews. With the demand for their home made wines came the logical step of starting a winery... besides, they couldn't afford to give it away forever!

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.
