Muirwood Pinot Noir
A bird that flies freely seems to sing a more melodious song than one that’s caged. Such is the case with this tantalizing and capricious Pinot Noir. The flavor is modest at first, but once it’s allowed time to breathe and spread its wings, its true charm is revealed, as it blooms with hints of fruit and spice that seem to emerge from behind a smoky taste.
