Magnum, 2008 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir AND Wine Tasting for 4 at Balletto Vineyards

Item Number: 720
Time Left: CLOSED

Description
A true treat for pinot noir lovers. This item comes with both:
- A magnum (1.5 liter) of Balletto 2008 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley - Estate Bottled. This dark-garnet colored Pinot Noir showcases classic Pinot aromas. There are beautiful outlying spice components of cardamom, fresh pine forest, new leather, delicate vanilla and a touch of toasted oak spice, all of which sit upon the core aromas of black cherry, raspberry and cola. The fragrance alone is intoxicating. The wine is highly textured and is structured around its cool-climate pie-cherry tartness -- a hallmark of growing Pinot in the cold southern end of the Russian River Valley. Subtle tannins and astringency fill out the mouth feel and complete the wine. This estate Pinot will benefit from cellar aging during the next five to seven years. This exceptional wine is balanced and complex and will pair beautifully with rack or leg of lamb, braised pork or salmon.
- A gift certificate for a complimentary tasting for four at Balletto Vineyards in Santa Rosa, California.
