The Eden Rift Pinot Noir Reserve Cienega Valley 2019 offers a medium-plus body with bright acidity and subtle tannins, showcasing a complex profile of tart cherry, cranberry preserve, and wild berries intertwined with earthy notes of pine needle, cedar, and wet forest floor. Its distinct limestone-driven minerality and hints of spice, vanilla, and coffee add depth and elegance, reflecting the unique terroir of California’s Cienega Valley. This wine balances wild fruit intensity with refined restraint, making it a compelling example of a terroir-expressive Pinot Noir. Comparable in character to some of California’s premier Pinots, it remains youthful and structured, promising further development.

Serve slightly chilled alongside roasted duck or mushroom risotto to complement its earthy and fruit-forward layers.
