El Molino Rutherford Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, California, USA 2011

Description

Established in 1871, El Molino Winery is one of Napa Valley's historic family-owned wineries, producing limited quantities of handcrafted wines with an emphasis on elegance and balance. The 2011 Rutherford Pinot Noir showcases the winery's traditional winemaking style, offering expressive aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, dried rose petals and baking spices, complemented by subtle earthy undertones.

The palate is silky and refined with layers of red berry fruit, hints of forest floor and gentle oak influence, finishing with bright acidity and fine tannins. The cool 2011 growing season produced wines with freshness, finesse and excellent food-pairing versatility.

A rare, limited-production Napa Valley Pinot Noir from one of California's oldest wineries, this bottle is an excellent addition for collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts.
