Winemakers Tasting Notes: Left Coasts
pale gold, straw grass hued, White Pinot Noir is
enticingly fruit forward with distinct poached
pear, stone fruit and pineapple aromas. Its midpalate
is broad and well-rounded. Flavors of
honey dew melon, peaches, apricot and orange
zest merge beautifully toward a wet stone/
mineral finish.
Food Pairing: The ideal Northwest Summer
wine. Perfect with our Pacific Northwest
bounty of grilled Sockeye Salmon, Oysters
harvested from area coves and bays, locally
raised Asparagus, and a cornucopia of Stone
Fruits. Lovely as is, with a simple snack of
Rainier Cherries and some fresh Goat Cheese.
What began in 2011 as a tiny, experimental wine has quickly blossomed into one of Left
Coast Cellars most unique wines. Crushed at extremely cold temperatures to insure no
coloration from the skins, the pure Pinot Noir juice is then fermented in stainless steel and
aged on the lees for 5 months. The result is a wine that bears hallmark Pinot Noir aromas of
cherries and spice, with counterpoint white wine flavors of pear, honeysuckle and peach.
