"With its broad array of origins and clones, this wine displays red aromas (candied cherry, pomegranate and raspberry) on the nose and the palate. In addition, one finds a light touch of brown spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice). True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polished tannins. Pair it with salmon or ahi, veal or pork, poultry (think duck) or beef, or hearty vegetarian entrees"

"The estate’s 2010 Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyce is the ripest and flashiest of these wines. Some readers may appreciate the pure exuberance and flashiness of the Cuvee Alyce, although personally I find more finesse in some of the other wines. Cola, black cherries, French oak and spices blast through to the juicy, expressive finish."
