Description
At Domaine Divio, Bruno Corneaux applies his traditional Burgundian crafting skills to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The winning bidder will take home a hand-crafted wooden wine gift box from Dundee, containing bottles of the 2015 Domaine Divio Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge and the 2016 Domaine Divio Willamette Valley Chardonnay.
The 2015 Domaine Divio Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge displays a dense red color with an intense nose of vanilla and cherry. Juicy and bright upfront, the wine gives way to deeper flavors of red fruit and spices on smooth and velvety tannins.
Divio, notes winemaker Bruno Corneaux, is the ancient Roman name for Dijon, hence, a sly reference to the clones in this outstanding Chardonnay. It's lush and flavorful, with a juicy mix of pear, peach and papaya fruit. Aged 15 months in 50% new French oak, the fruit sets up against a palate-popping wash of toasted hazelnuts, filling out the extended finish. An all-around splendid bottle.
