Still a rich styled pinot, but the lighter vintage and years in the bottle really help this stay balanced. Packed with rich dark fruit and cola notes finishing with a bit of spice. Nice now and will hold for another 3-4 years.

This is a big wine. After about 2.5 hours the dark fruit fills out on the palate. It is not sweet, however. Some tannic grip on the finish.

Has the distinct cola notes of #RRV #pinot but has the color, tannin, and pepper of a petite syrah. Holds up well with pizza. #pinotnoir #russianriver

Great Pinot. Right balance of fruit and acid. Oak on the nose but doesn't come through on the taste

Pale ruby color. Aromas of cherry cola, chocolate and rose petals. Smooth, gorgeous flavors of cherry, spices and nice finish.
