FEATURES
🏰The 2019 Audeant Pinot Noir Luminous Hills Vineyard is a 【highly acclaimed Oregon Pinot Noir from an incredibly steep, high-altitude vineyard】, earning impressive scores like 96 from Decanter and 94 from Robert Parker. This wine presents a shimmering magenta color and an intensely perfumed bouquet of spice- and mineral-accented cherry, Chambord, incense, and a suave floral topnote. On the palate, it's uplifted and silky, with concentrated red and blue fruit preserve, spicecake, and floral pastille flavors that show unlikely litheness for their heft. Expect notes of cranberries, blueberries, Angostura bitters, tea leaves, earth, and woodsmoke, with filigreed tannins that melt away as currants, clove, and blood orange drive a soaring finish.
🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is a fantastic match for roasted duck breast, pan-seared salmon, mushroom risotto, or a delicate lamb shoulder. It also pairs well with charcuterie boards featuring lighter meats and soft cheeses.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner with friends, a special occasion for Pinot Noir enthusiasts, or a tasting focused on exceptional Oregon wines.
