The first three wines had fruit that was fermented in open oak casts and aged in French Oak, but it was fun to taste the differences in the terroir. Notes of cherry cola, herbs, mocha, blackberry, and spice make this a well-balanced, nuanced wine. 2021 Cherry Pie Toro Hills, Los Carneros, Sonoma County, $55 – located in the Southwestern corner of the Donnell Ranch vineyard in Sonoma’s Carneros AVA, this was the first vintage of this wine.Very aromatic with notes of black cherry, rhubarb, boysenberry, plum, and cranberry. 2021 Cherry Pie Pinot Noir, Huckleberry Snodgrass, Russian River, Sonoma County, $58 –.Located in the Carneros AVA, it was a lush wine. 2021 Cherry Pie Pinot Noir, San Pablo Bay Block, Napa Valley, $58 – this wine was an expression of deep cherry, cedar, vanilla, pomegranate, and spice.The fruit was fermented in open oak casts and aged in French Oak, but it was fun to taste the differences in the terroir. I had the chance to try several single vineyard wines and one blend side by side originating from different winemaking regions. Originally a vision from Jason Woodbridge, a renowned winemaker of Hundred Acre fame, who knew California had terroirs suitable to make Old World-style pinot noirs.Ĭherry Pie Wines was named for the pies that his grandmother used to make and represent the deep cherry flavors that are often found in Pinot Noirs.
The vineyards are chosen specifically for their proximity to the ocean in places where the temperatures vary due to the fog and wind.Ĭherry Pie Wines looks to places like the Carneros region in Napa/Sonoma, the Russian River Valley in Sonoma, the cool hills of Monterey, and the marine-influenced vineyards of Santa Barbara. Whisk the egg with cream and some salt and brush generously on top of the pie and sprinkle with brown sugar.Cherry Pie Wines began with a vision of making Burgundian-style Pinot Noirs expressed by different iconic vineyards and AVAs throughout California.Take the chilled strips of dough and arrange into a lattice pattern (or lay it flat and cut holes in it for steam to escape).Add to the cherries and slide into the chilled pie plate Once the wine is cool, remove the herbs and add the corn starch and mix well.Cut into uniform strips then cool in the fridge for a lattice pattern Roll out the other half of the pie dough until its lenght is the same as the pie dish.Roll out half of the pie pasrty until it’s almost the size of your pie dish.Steep and reduce 2 cups wine with the juice from the cherries, the sugar, rosemary and thyme until reduced to almost one cup and let cool.Start by mixing the pittes cherries with the sugar and allow them to rest until all the juices are out.It is a burst of flavor that gently serenades your taste buds on the mellow tempo of the song Cherry!Ĭherry Pie with Red Wine, Rosemary and Thyme The filling is a sweet and tart mix from the slightly sweetened dark cherries, and a pungent kick of wine flavored with rosemary and thyme. I went in the kitchen to play, and came out with a gorgeous pie… All while playing the album on repeat. It is cherry season and Lana brings her songs with plenty of fruit references, but this time, it was a recipe in a song. It was so inspiring that I couldn’t help but take her words and descriptions and materialize them! The way Lana paints images with her choice of words is inspiring. There was nothing that disappointed me when I listened to it in the album. More than 45 times on my MacBook alone, knowing that I listen to music on my phone WAY more.Įver since one of the songs was shared in a video snippet from one of the rehearsals, I fell in love with it and was so eager listen to the official release. I have played it countless times already. It is without a doubt that if you have been following me lately, you would notice how excited I was for the release of the new album LUST FOR LIFE by Lana Del Rey.
