Limited production premium wine likely to sell out quickly
DANVILLE, CA, January 11, 2011
Damian Rae Winery today announced the release of the hand-crafted Damian Rae 2008 Pinot Noir from La Encantada Vineyard (Sta. Rita Hills). "This limited-production, single-vineyard beauty is an enchanting wine, and is sure to sell out quickly," said Damian Rae vice president Sharol Tarabini. "While we've become known for making award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons and Syrahs, Pinot lovers have discovered us as well," she added.Perfectly balanced, the Damian Rae 2008 Pinot Noir is a complex, yet approachable wine with origins in one of the world's finest Pinot Noir vineyards. With an outstanding nose, this wine displays ripe strawberry and red cherry aromas, with good integration of oak. The finish is long and smooth. The Damian Rae 2008 Pinot Noir is ideally paired with chicken, grilled seafood, pork tenderloin, pasta alfredo, and soft-ripened cheeses including Brie and Camembert.
The Damian Rae 2008 Pinot Noir is value priced at $38 and can be ordered while supplies last at http://www.damianrae.com.
