MY PERSONAL WINE NOTES
By Gabrielle Leonhard O’Connell
Director of Winemaking, O’Connell Family Wines
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW
The rich color, aromatics and texture was deeply satisfying right now, so an ideal moment to enjoy this wine. The Pinot Noir continued to open over an hour’s time, which indicates to me that it has continued aging potential. I loved the perfect integration of the wine, so I will be opening more bottles in the coming months. Personally, I enjoy wine when it still shows fruit rather than losing that quality with continued aging. If you like the earthy taste of aged Pinot Noir, put it down for five to ten more years.
We enjoyed it for our personal happy hour with mild cheeses- gruyere and gouda. Made for a great Wednesday evening at home!
