MENDOCINO's PINOT NOIR WINES

Food Pairing
Poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork. It will play well with creamy sauces.

Philo Ridge Pinot Noir
Cold soak for 4 days, slow fermentation in open
top fermenters. This wine spent 28 months in
French oak. 10 months in a blending tank for

The grapes came from our estate vineyards and

Phillips Hill Estate
Score: 90 (Excellent)
"A luscious young Pinot, made in an instantly appealing style. It shows ripe, sweet cherry, raspberry, framboise, red currant and spicy vanilla and oak flavors that finish long and balanced. This is a voluptuous wine, almost decadent."
