The outstanding 'Equinoxe Reserve' Pinot Noir is yet another fantastic release from Le Cadeau and consulting winemaker Jim Sanders. The fruit was sourced from the center portion of the vineyard where the vines enjoy equal sunlight exposure on both sides throughout the day. The result is a gorgeous showing which brings a wonderful intense aromatic profile of red fruits mark the nose with citrus rind and forest floor tones that all impress. Soft and generous on the palate, this captures a silky mouthfeel and a beautiful texture throughout. Ripe red and dark fruits continue to mingle with baking spice and peat moss flavors as this complex red is highly delicious now, and should also continue to evolve well over the next decade and beyond.
