  • Description
    <p>Classic Pinot Noir aromas of strawberry and raspberry, with a hint of cranberry and dried hay. This has a velvety texture with a great balance of acidity and will pair well with a variety of foods, such as light pasta, poultry and soft cheeses.</p><p><strong>85 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate:</strong></p><p>&quot;The 2009 Pinot Noir Truchard Vineyard exhibits a light color and fades slightly on the palate, but it is an authentic tasting Pinot Noir with a medium ruby/garnet color as well as notes of strawberries, herbs and sweet plums. Drink it over the next 1-2 years.&quot;</p><h2>About X Winery</h2><p>Founded on a MBA business plan, X Winery is a unique organization of passion-driven wine professionals &quot;hell-bent&quot; (as they put it) on &quot;producing great wines at a great price.&quot;</p><p>Cabernet fan? <a href="/Winery-Profiles/X-Winery">Watch this video</a> from winemaker Reed Renaudin to learn more about the sources behind X Winery Cabernets, and <a href="/Winery-Profiles/X-Winery">get them now</a> on Winetasting.com</p><h2>Vineyard Notes</h2><p>Sourced from five distinct blocks (Swan, Pommard, Bowl, Dijon, and Martini) located on the property, each block is vinified in a unique manner then blended three months prior to bottling to allow for the wonderful flavors of each block to come together.</p>
