2019 George Phillips Cellars Reserve Selection No. 025 Pinot Noir

Seek out silky tannins this 2019 George Phillips Pinot Noir. This light-bodied red glimmers in shades of ruby and burgundy, hinting at its delicate fruit-forward nature. Pomegranate and cherry aromas burst out of the glass, tempered by notes of toasted spice and strawberry. On the palate, the bright acidity and smooth tannins make for a lovely, long finish accented by hints of blackberry and raspberry. Originating from the radiant inland valleys of California, this Pinot Noir thrived in sandy soils and teemed on ancient vines on the George Phillips ranch. With a rustic and earthy landscape, the cool breezes from the San Francisco and Suisun bays lead to a prolonged growing season and rich, complex flavors that are never more evident than in this 2019 George Phillips Pinot. In finding a pair for this Pinot, we recommend roast pork, wild mushrooms, seared salmon, or a mild blue cheese like Gorgonzola.
