Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Ruby color, slight purple edges, with aromas of red fruits, forest floor and smoky spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with cedar notes, tea, cola, black pepper, cinnamon spice and earthy herbs. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and a spicy earthy character. Pair this with a grilled salmon or pork chop!

Nice full Pinot. But missing the RRV characteristics I hoped for. Was better day two… so maybe could use a bit of time.

Just opened it, quick, ten-minute decant. Classic, opulent Paul Hobbs. Fruit just teems from the glass. I'm officially on Yumville with every evolving sip. 2011, so far, is a comeback. And in a big and welcome way..
