2015 Reata Three County Pinot Noir
SOLD OUT!
The name Reata comes from the Spanish word for “lariat.” Handbraided and buried in earth to cure, each rope—like our wine— is individual to its maker, and to the land it was born out of.
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Rich color hints at the boldness of this big Pinot Noir. Warm aromas of toasty oak fill the glass and lead to a well-structured weight on the palate. Densely delicious, earthy flavors mingle with notes of cherry and raspberry while a backdrop of clove and coriander adds complexity. The strong finish lingers on the palate nicely.
Winemaker Notes
18 months on 30% new French oak. 100% Pinot Noir (50% San Benito 37% Sonoma County 13% Monterey County)
Food Pairing Notes
This Pinot Noir lends itself to several seafood preparations due to its soft tannins and excellent acidity. Salmon is a classic pairing, though other good combinations are wild mushroom risotto, ragù, almost any light smoked meat or chicken roasted with winter root vegetables.
