2012 Coupe's Cuvée Pinot Noir Dessert Wine
Regular price $35.00
With the fifth vintage of this unique port-style Pinot noir, this version of Coupe's Cuvée was aged in barrel for a full two years, allowing it to develop more richness and a little bit more of a tawny characteristic. While fortified with brandy distilled from Pinot Noir grapes, it still has a finesse that is uncharacteristic of port, but ultimately what makes this a Pinot noir first, and a dessert wine second. At just under 6% residual sugar, it is enough to balance with the acidity, but not so much as to overwhelm the expression of the fruit. Very small in production, this is a wine we traditionally release in the fall, but because of its elegance, maintains its appeal throughout the year, pairing well with a broad range of desserts, or appealing on its own.
