Fender's Blue's brisk acidity and crisp texture gives the wine the impression of floating like a butterfly. There's earthy aromas galore of daisies and wild Himalayan blackberries to go with flavors like cassis, roasted pork shoulder and the salinity of a clean ocean breeze. This is easily my favorite Fender since Freddy
Winemaker Notes
Cardwell Hill Cellar's Fender's Blue Pinot Noir is named for the protected species of butterfly found in specific areas of Benton County, Oregon- including in the winery. The wine displays sour cherry and raspberry flavors on the palate, that linger in a long, smooth finish. Pair with salmon, fish, shellfish as well as game birds and venison.
