Makuprofiili
In the glass, this vintage shows a bright, clear ruby color that hints at its freshness and finesse despite the wine’s concentration. The nose is vivid and layered, offering ripe strawberries, cherry, wild herbs, black pepper, dried petals, subtle smoke, and a fine mineral edge. On the palate, 'Pictures' 2007 is rich and expansive, yet silky and refined, with beautifully integrated tannins and lively acidity that keeps the fruit lifted and precise. The finish is long and elegant, leaving behind notes of spice, red berries, and savory complexity. While already expressive, this is the kind of wine that can continue to evolve gracefully with further cellaring, gaining even more nuance over time.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes for 'Pictures' 2007 come from highly regarded California vineyards such as Eleven Confessions and Alta Mesa, where low yields and rigorous selection help create exceptional concentration and complexity. These sites contribute distinctive character through their sun exposure, soil structure, and vineyard discipline, giving the wine both richness and mineral tension. Produced under Manfred Krankl’s meticulous approach, the cuvée is carefully assembled to emphasize balance, texture, and aromatic detail, with vinification designed to preserve purity and expressive nuance.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, herb-crusted beef, game birds, duck, or richly flavored Mediterranean dishes, especially those with rosemary, thyme, or grilled vegetables. Serve at around 16–18°C for the best expression of its aromatics and texture, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if the wine is being opened young or if you want to broaden its perfume and soften its structure.
