93 / 100"The nose of this dark and punchy Pinot bursts from the glass with aromas of spiced cherry compote, fried shiitake, sarsaparilla and black tea. The palate gives waves of juicy acidity to balance a robust framework and flavors of Bing cherry, blackberry, salted caramel and sweet cinnamon."

Tasting Notes
The Russian River Valley bottling is one of the most expressive wines that we offer. Sourced from a multitude of sites scattered throughout the appellation, the wine brings together unique and individual flavor profiles to provide a balanced and 360o perspective on the Russian River Valley. Red fruits, red and purple flowers, hints of English Breakfast tea wrap up with the woodsy, earthy side of Pinot Noir. Highlights of fennel and fresh herbs add an additional layer of interest and intrigue to the aromatics. Firmer in texture and tannin, the palate is saturated with red fruits and citrus flavors. The interplay of the acidity and tannin helps to stretch the palate out to give length. Allow this wine to develop a few years to reach its full potential.
