Luminous ruby in color and a nose that jumps out of the glass- strawberry, savory herbs, cinnamon, bell pepper and plum bring about a complexity rarely seen in a Pinot Noir with this light a body. There’s a great balance of fruit, acidity and a staying power on the palate with cranberry, anise, sundried tomato and rhubarb.

100% Pinot Noir./ ABV 12.8%

Description

Ravines Wine Cellars makes dry, classical, terroir-driven wines on over 130 acres of estate vineyards. Founded in 2001 and family-owned and operated ever since by Morten and Lisa Hallgren, Morten was raised and trained as an oenologist / winemaker in Provence and Bordeaux France, before moving to the region and pioneering the bone-dry, mineral-tinged Riesling style that the region is now famous for. Ravines utilizes minimal intervention in the cellar and employs sustainable winegrowing practices on steep-sloping vineyards with limestone and shalestone soils. Our wines have continually gained noteworthy press and international accolades as a standard-bearer Finger Lakes winery.
