I found this to have high acid, in a good way after the more jammy ones that preceded it.

This is really lovely Pinot. Concentration without weight, and exquisite balance.

Opened a bottle in 2013 and was so-so, but now (4/2015) this is showing beautifully. Classic RRV notes.

Classic Russian River terroir and varietal correctness to boot.

I (thought i) tasted this in the summer and loved it. Now, it strikes me as having a lot of malolactic and I'm not so keen on it.

Fruity compared to their single vineyard Pinots. Went well with chicken pesto. Celebrating the start of daycare for Sophia!

Cherries and oak. Cool climate. Not my favorite varietal but I like this one.
