Ashton Kelder Limited Release Pinot Noir 2004

A beautiful bouquet of complex fruit tones of sun dried plums, strawberries and violets emanates from this typical Pinot Noir. It has a light and elegant palate with long lasting after tones of cherries.

A taste sensation with salmon. This delightful combination works even better when offset with the sweetness of leeks.
