Pinot Noir is Light-Bodied Red Wine
Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. The name may also refer to wines created predominantly from Pinot noir grapes. The name is derived from the French words for pine and black. The word pine alludes to the grape variety having tightly clustered, pine cone-shaped bunches of fruit.

From the Winemaker
tasting notes, wine unfolds its tale with an aromatic prelude of dried roses, coriander, and muddled raspberry. Venture deeper
into the glass and the story darkens, revealing a core of a forest at dusk. Candied bacon, anise and strawberry guava
parade across the palate with a savory sweetness. A narrative of flavors, each sip is a chapter in its own right, a story
that promises to linger after the curtain falls, leaving you yearning for just one more taste of its enchanting story.
