A dry red wine made from Pinot Noir grown on Sunmamoru Winery's own vineyard on the Shimokita Peninsula in Mutsu City, Aomori — Japan's northernmost wine region. Slightly orange-tinged ruby in color, with aromas of cranberry, raspberry, and plum accented by spicy orange-peel nuances. A juicy, strawberry-like freshness fills the palate, pairing beautifully with whelk, chocolate, and fresh cheeses like mascarpone and ricotta.
Sunmamoru's Ryo captures Shimokita's cool maritime climate in a juicy, strawberry-bright Pinot Noir that ranks among Japan's most approachable examples of the variety.
