Happen to find this gem hiding in the back of the cellar (actually forgot it was there but don't tell the winemaker). I've known owner/winemaker Cynthia Cosco of Passaggio Wines for several years and have watched her rise as an outstanding winemaker. From the early years on the Silverado Trail to her own winery and tasting room today, she still believes "something magical happens when you bring family and friends together and share a glass of wine."
The label on this wine is a tribute to the men and women who work in law enforcement risking their lives for our protection. 5% of the selling price was directly donated to charities benefiting the families of fallen peace officers in the line of duty.
The nose on this wine screams bright cherry and cranberry along with a nice clove spice. A faint little herbal character appears as you allow the wine to open. There is the rich character with every swirl and your palate screams "let me have it now."
The mouth starts with juicy cherry surrounded with tart cranberry and a nice kiss of warm spice. The finish lingers long and soft. Round, simple elegant pinot noir. Sure glad you decided to craft red wines too Cindy.
Swing by the tasting room at 25 East Napa Street Suite C Sonoma California. It's a beautiful place to spend an afternoon.
Cheers
Dan
