This bottling, crafted from a co-fermentation of Pommard and Swan clones, opens with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, layered with rose petal, baking spice, and subtle notes of forest floor. On the palate, it is concentrated yet graceful, with flavors of dark berry compote, cocoa, and savory spice unfolding against a backdrop of mineral undertones. The tannins are firm but polished, giving the wine structure and age-worthy potential, while vibrant acidity keeps the richness in balance. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of fruit and spice that highlight the wine’s complexity and depth.
Food pairings for the 2014 Mother Rock Pinot Noir should emphasize its layered fruit and savory character. Roasted duck with cherry glaze, herb-crusted lamb, or braised short ribs will harmonize with its richness, while mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, or roasted root vegetables will highlight its earthy undertones. Cedar-planked salmon or aged cheeses such as Comté and Gruyère provide elegant counterpoints, allowing the wine’s balance of power and finesse to shine.
