"Medium ruby color; earthy nose with black cherry, raspberry, black tea and sandalwood notes; rich flavors of bing cherry and strawberry with light earth notes; good structure and balance; long finish. Juicy and lush Pinot with nice flavor. " Gregory Walter. Reviewed 5/15/2015

Product Description:

"On the nose, the Risueña has scents of cedar, raspberry and cherry with a hint of orange peel. On the palate there are plush tannins that support a slightly creamy, high-toned strawberry. This is a perfect "drink now" Pinot Noir, as it is polished, and approachable. Cellaring this will not be necessary, but it will improve and gain complexity over the next 2 years." Winemaker's Notes

Zepaltas winery tries to produce wines that go well with food, and have the potential to evolve into greater things throughout the aging process."
