Tasting Notes

This is a refined Pinot Noir that opens with bright red cherry and strawberry aromatics, layered with subtle earthy notes that hint at the wine's mineral backbone. On the palate, silky tannins frame flavors of red berries and understated oak spice, while a whisper of minerality adds complexity and lift. The finish is clean and lingering, driven by graceful acidity that feels natural and integrated rather than harsh.

Producer

Nid Tisse operates Radian Vineyard as a focused estate dedicated to producing elegant, site-expressive wines. The vineyard's commitment to thoughtful viticulture and selective harvest practices reflects a philosophy centered on quality and restraint—the hallmarks of serious Pinot Noir production.

Terroir

Radian Vineyard benefits from a cool-climate growing environment ideal for Pinot Noir, where moderate temperatures encourage slow ripening and preserve acidity. The vineyard's soils and elevation work together to produce wines with both richness and refinement, allowing red fruit character to develop fully while maintaining the varietal's signature elegance.

Food Pairings

Pair this Pinot with pan-seared duck breast finished with a cherry gastrique and herbs—the wine's silky structure and bright acidity complement the rich, gamey meat beautifully. For a more casual pairing, try it alongside roasted chicken with mushroom cream sauce, where the earthy minerality and red fruit notes feel right at home. It's also excellent with charcuterie and aged cheeses on a relaxed evening.
