Ripe strawberries and red raspberries
Spice & Mineral
Graceful minerality on the palate
Texture/Structure
Fine tannins and fresh acidity. A supple palate is generous in mouthfeel and lingers for a long, luxurious finish.
At The Table
Aliette pairs beautifully with pork tenderloin medallions, salmon or roasted chicken.
Glassware
A traditional Pinot Noir/Burgundy glass with a round bowl will convey this varietal’s profound aromatics and structural characteristics.
Serving and Cellar

In the Vineyard
Named for our founder’s mother, Aliette is situated on a single, gently sloping southeast-facing hillside that ranges in elevation from 570 to 610 feet. The ground has a deep layer of WillaKenzie soil on top of harder-to-penetrate sandstone, resulting in vines that have deep, spreading roots.
