The Witness Mark

TASTING NOTES: “Rich with full flavors and silky, supple tannins, Witness Mark Pinot Noir, overflows with concentrated aromas of black cherry and ripe plum, followed by robust flavors of raspberry, dark cherry and a hint of baking spice. Elegant and balanced, this Pinot Noir delights with a long and layered finish.” (AbV 13.5%)

VARIETALS: 100% Pinot Noir.

BARRELS: French oak.

PAIRS WITH: Wild mushroom pizza, herb crusted salmon, chicken marsala or ancient grain bowl with roasted chickpeas.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Witness marks, the namesake of the wine series.

Described by the winery, “As the pendulum of an antique clock swings in perfect balance, a complex network of gears and levers churn in tandem, leaving behind witness marks, or small grooves inside the clock. For veteran clocksmiths tasked with the challenge of repairing such intricate clocks, they must rely on these witness marks to guide their process of restoring the pendulum back into balance. At Witness Mark Wines, our winemaker relies on the same tenets of experience, ingenuity and artistry to craft our wines. A color, an aroma, a lingering flavor profile. These details are the witness marks that guide our winemaker’s creative process. The result is a portfolio of beautiful, perfectly balanced wines from California’s Central Coast.”
