1 | Wine | What's On Sale, Pinot Noir, 2010

"Adding Johan Vineyard to the roster of four sites that informed this cuvee’s previous edition, the Ransom 2010 Pinot Noir Selection – tasted in a close approximation to its final assemblage – delivers downright refreshingly as well as invigoratingly tangy red currant and fraises des bois, tinged with coriander seed, nutmeg, and rose hip. Buoyant to the point of delicacy, this finishes with mouthwatering persistence and is sure on release to represent an outstanding value that can be enjoyed over at least the next half dozen years."

"Dried herbs and strawberries slowly evolve from the tantalizing mix of aromas and flavors. This wine is true Pinot Noir, bright red in color and balanced to work with many foods. The wine will age nicely over the next decade with more of the "forest floor" (mushrooms, earth, etc.) showing through. Try it with chicken or fish with Asian spices or Salmon prepared in any manner."
