772 | Wine | Pinot Noir, Napa Valley

"This elegant and medium-bodied wine offers aromas of Cherry and herbal spice. On the palate the wine gives complex layers of cinnamon, spice, black cherry, sweet vanilla oak and floral notes, with a long velvety finish. Smooth with a silky texture and mild tannins, this versatile wine pairs well with lamb, chicken, veal, salmon and light pasta dishes."

"The Napa Cellars 2011 Pinot Noir has a stunning bright light garnet color in the glass with visible density. This elegant wine delivers beautiful aromas of ripe cherry, sweet tobacco, raspberry and cedar with subtle spice notes. Fresh fruit flavor of deep, red cherry burst open in the mouth and is supported by fantastic acidity. Smooth tannins linger with the pure fruit leading to a long finish of aromatic sweetness and elegance. For a decadent meal, pair this wonderful wine with grilled chicken and sautéed mushrooms for dinner and dark chocolate for dessert."

"A medium ruby color and aromas of dark cherries, briary strawberry and subtle hints of vanilla and lavender give way to a lush, silky palate with more bright fruit, cedar, and toast. This wine also has a great acid/tannin balance that should allow for great aging potential in the years to come. Enjoy!"

"Dark ruby red with some violet notes, medium density. Red cherry, cranberry, baking spices, toasted hazelnut, and crushed stone. Soft, yet bright entry, round and pleasantly balanced on the mid-palate, medium weight. Finishes with delicate length."

"Ultrarich and layered, with complex, firm loamy earth, dried berry, black cherry and plum flavors evenly displayed, showing a crushed rock and loamy earth aftertaste, with pleasing suppleness."
