LANGE PINOT NOIR RESERVE 2022

Density and purity of color in the glass leads to a beguiling bouquet and pleasantly palpable palate of mint, wintergreen, pine, cedar, turned earth, boysenberry, huckleberry, blueberry, blackberry and black cherry. Finely-honed tannins define the wine's texture and breadth. The finish is peristent and polished. Medium-bodied and medium to full-flavored, the wine is quite accessible now and should reward mid-term cellaring. Consider pairing with Pate Forestier, Pan-Seared Duck with a Balsamic Reduction, Veal Medallions with Mushroom Cognac Sauce or Wild Mushroom Risotto with Shallots. Yes, the umami mushroom theme is perfect for this wine...so throw some mushrooms in with the duck, too!
