Our 2019 Pursuit Pinot is a mouth-watering and jammy delight. I'm talking strawberry jam, caramel, and ripe figs. With balanced acidity and a smooth finish, this wine would pair well with a juicy steak topped in herbed garlic butter, grilled chicken in a light cream sauce, or even a nice piece of dark chocolate.

Our 2016 Legende Blend is a vibrant tale of spiced blackberries with a hint of smoke and white pepper. It’s mouth-filling and complex, with a clean, lingering finish. This wine would pair well with barbecue, especially with a slightly sweet (but not too sweet) sauce. It certainly would pair well with steaks (especially grilled), but because of the acidity, it could also pair well with roast chicken or even grilled salmon.
