Konstantin Frank NV Pinot Noir, New York
Beautiful offering from a very up-and-coming region. This new world pinot noir offers a cornucopia of flavors from floral notes of rose and lavender, tastes of wild cherry, black tea, earthy terroir tones with a hint of saltiness. There is a touch of vanilla and hint of cola on the mid-palate and finish. Great pinot noir value for the money.

A canvas of bitter sweet chocolate, is splashed with tar, sassafras root, charred vanilla bean, and a hint of black tea. The finish is perfume-like, with notes of lavender, polished tannins, and complementary acidity. Beautiful on its own, it also makes a great food wine.
