Russian River Reserve Pinot Noir, 2007
Food and Wine PairingPair this dense and concentrated wine with roasted duck, braised rabbit or fowl. |
Tasting NotesThis Reserve wine is Domaine Chandon’s elegant and exotic companion to the Carneros Pinot Noir. Enticing aromas are fruit forward with a dominant sour cherry. Abundantly spiced with cedar, cardamom, clove and tobacco notes, the wine is dry on the palate. Gentle handling in the vineyard and throughout the winemaking process resulted in the 2007 vintage preserving exceptional color.

Santa Rita Hills Reserve Pinot Noir, 2006
|
Winery Exclusive Food and Wine PairingTry this wine with roast pork loin with a fruit reduction sauce. It would pair nicely with pheasant as well. |
Tasting NotesThis rich and expressive pinot noir is ummediately defined by its aromas of lavender and fresh ripe raspberries that mingle with hints of crushed granite and sandalwood. Expansive flavors including black cherry and pomegranate are a prelude to the silky texture and quintessential flintiness on the finish that is common from the Santa Rital Hills region. The medium body, balanced acidity and well integrated tannins suggest that this wine could be cellared for 5 to 7 years and yet will pair well now with a variety of dishes.

Carneros Reserve Pinot Noir, 2008
|
Winery Exclusive Food and Wine PairingGrilled salmon on a cedar plank seasoned with etoile Chef’s series Seafood Spice Rub would be a splendid match with this Pinot Noir. Or try this wine paired with a seared duck breast topped with a reduction sauce of blackberries and orange zest served alongside spiced sweet potatoes. |
Tasting NotesThe vibrant aromas of this wine reveal complex layers of sage, dried strawberry, raspberry and cranberry. Rich flavors of blackberry, dried strawberry, cardamom and cedar linger while a hidden accent of orange zest is revealed in the finish. The luxuriously silky tannins suggest the potential for this wine to age with elegance for 3-5 years.
