TASTING NOTES:

The fruit used to craft Oakridge Over The Shoulder Pinot Noir was handpicked, destemmed, naturally fermented, and then pressed into a combination of barriques, puncheons and hogsheads to allow malolactic conversion. The resulting wine shows a deep cherry red colour with dark red hues highlighting the edges. The attractive bouquet gives off mesmerizing aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, musk, blood plum, spicy cherry fruit and cinnamon. The crunchy and intense palate contains ripe flavours of black and red fruits as well as alpine strawberries, coupled with preserved cherry and cranberry nuances. These elegant fruit characters offer a nice layer of acidity, concluding in a lingering finish. This delightful Pinot Noir is a great match to foods like grilled salmon, roasted chicken, casseroles and pastas.
