The Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir 2008 is very dark and rich in color, almost garnet red it's so strong. This dry, full-bodied Pinot Noir has nice fruit flavors combined with some smoke. The tannins are fairly strong and hard, which makes this an excellent wine to have with red, fatty meats.

Food Pairing: Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir 2008
- Poached Salmon: The Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir 2008 becomes much sweeter and a bit more acidic when paired with salmon — it wouldn't be this good with most other fishes, but with a fatty fish like salmon it's quite good.
- Asparagus & Hollandaise Sauce: When paired with asparagus, the Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir becomes even drier than it already is, which is pretty good.
