Very tight. Shy aromatics of black cherry, baking spice and smoke. Well-balanced profile with low alcohol and ph. Give this one a few years.

Beautiful Pinot. Cherry, cranberry, tea with med plus acid, great balance & long complex finish.

Fragrant raspberry and clove. Bright flavors of cherry and cranberry. Not nearly as extracted as many RRV Pinots, but definitely California. Silky smooth finish with a little warmth.

Delicate rose petals, pencil shavings and black cherry. A blend seven clones, this is not a heavy-handed typical RRV Pinot but light and approachable.

Excellent example of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Medium bodied and medium garnet color. Full aromas of cranberry and raspberry fruit along with a touch of fresh herbs. Sour cherry and pomegranate flavors with hints of spices on the finish. Elegant silky tannins and bright acidity.
