Tasting Notes and Reviews
West Coast Wine Competition placed Crinella Pinot Noir as one of the top eight Pinot Noir Wines in the 2008 event which is organized by Vineyard and Winery Magazine.

"All the characteristics of the wine are superb and will continue to get even more so with more aging." - Dan Berger

"This light-bodied, bone dry Pinot has good varietal definition in its violet-black cherry core, and it has fine minerality and light tannin, A fair value" - Scott Clemens, Epicurean Traveler

"Wow, terrific fruit from a producer that supplies both Twomey and Merry Edwards. This is really good stuff, with a nose & palate of rich red fruit and a round mouthfeel, just enough acidity to keep it complex, and a long satisfying finish making one run for the cellar for another bottle. Superb effort. 92 points." Snoman at cellartracker.com

Pair this wine with Crinella Home Cured Prosciutto
Prosciutto is an excellent addition to an antipasta tray and a delightful ingredient in many pasta or vegetable recipes. This home made version is one we enjoy with both Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

Other Pairing Suggestions
We're confident you'll love our wine with any of your favorite recipes, but want to recommend a few more you may enjoy.

This is an excellent wine with Caponatina a la Siciliana and fresh sourdough bread. You will also find it a perfect wine and food pairing when you serve this with Grilled Lamb Chops and Sautéed Potatoes & Onions. Follow the meal with the delightful dessert, Peaches Noir. The wine will carry beautifully through the entire meal.
