TASTING NOTES
The 2016 Overlook Pinot Noir Light is plum color in the glass with complex aromas of red and black cherry, ripe raspberry with cinnamon and subtle vanilla spice, cedar, dried orange peel, leather, cocoa, with a hint of purple flowers. The palate is medium bodied with slightly more black fruit of cherry and ripe raspberry fruit and baking spice on entry leading to a more savory, crisp mid-palate featuring attractive mineral, and earth notes with sustained barrel spice. The fresh finish continues with balanced, grippy tannins and hints of cherry and berry hard candy notes.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Pair with an Asian chicken stir fry with mandarin oranges and sautéed veggies or go all out with duck a l’orange, a classically prepared duck dish with a reduction of Grand Marnier liqueur, shallots, orange, cloves and cinnamon.
