Description
Growing quality Pinot Noir in any capacity is quite a feat; growing it organically, as Bonterra and many Burgundian producers do, takes skill and conscientiousness indeed - which is why it's amazing that this wine has such a friendly price tag. Look for strawberry, raspberry and cola notes with a touch of vanilla spice from nine months in barrel.

Tasting Notes
This organic wine spent 10 months in French oak and is on the hefty side of the Pinot Noir spectrum, showing nice berry fruit and oak spice in a velvety texture and culminating in a long, fruity finish. It'll be a good choice for bison burgers or lamb stew with root veggies. (Vintages panel, Nov. 2017)
