This Cirq Pinot Noir pours a beautiful deep red with a rich, luxurious glow. The aroma is layered with notes of decadent chocolate ganache, dark cherry, and strawberry rhubarb compote. Hints of cigar box and fresh cedar complement the earthy tones to create a spice-rich perfume. The palate immediately surrounds with silky, opulent mouthfeel, leading to an energetic mid-palate with bright acidity and elegant tannins that bring a sense of balance and restraint. Each sip of this Cirq Wine unfolds flavors of ripe cherry, luscious raspberries, cranberry, and hibiscus tea intertwined with cinnamon spice and fresh earth.

The finish is broad, rich, and mouth-watering, with layers that seem to expand and settle gently, giving you a luxurious, comforting sensation. You’ll find yourself savoring its long, resonating finale. This wine is perfectly framed by Cirq’s meticulous winemaking process, which employs whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak to enhance its elegant, complex structure.
