Giving thanks - 87p

It’s the end of November and for everyone in the USA this means it’s Turkey season! To give thanks for things in your everyday life is a nice thing and one of the things we like is wine. In honor of our American friends we have found a fine red from California which will be great with a good Turkey dinner.

Rod Strong was among the first modern wine pioneers with a vision to plant Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley. In 1968, he planted the heritage River East Vineyard in the alluvial clay-loam soils adjacent to the winery in Healdsburg. Today the Russian River Valley is well established as one of the premier Pinot Noir growing regions in the world. ​

Tasting Notes:

Rodney Strong Russian River valley Pinot Noir 2019 - 279,90 kr

Lovely aromas of red fruit, floral and earth. A soft and silky texture, on the palate dark cherry, cranberry, and baking spice characteristics shine through with balance, acidity and a nice lingering finish. This medium bodied wine was aged for 14 months in small French oak barrels, which added a hint of toasty vanilla and spice complexity. 

In addition to the traditional Turkey, you can enjoy this Pinot Noir with charcuterie, wild mushroom risotto, grilled pork tenderloin.
