A creative blend of 10% Barbera, 5% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot, and 2% Tempranillo was added to this Pinot Noir, with most of the fruit sourced from the Lodi and Clarksburg AVAs; it aged for ten months in (30% new) French, Hungarian, and American oak. Cinnamonspiced cherry comes through on the nose and palate. An earthy core reveals notes of bright cranberry and a hint of sage as toasted oak, toffee, and pomegranate lend an edge. The perky, peppered finish rides on smooth tannins.
Dark ruby in color, the Leese Fitch Pinot Noir boasts aromas of wild strawberry, violets, dark plum, and vanilla spiked oak. Flavors reminiscent of dark plum, raspberry, tobacco leaf, cocoa nibs, and rhubarb, finishing with a hint of earthy loam, black cherry, and toffee. The crisp acidity keeps you coming back for more.
