Had another bottle to try. Wow wine seemed to pop. Light ruby color with red fruit aromas, currants and a touch of floral. The palate shows ripe sweet black cherry and raspberry with vanilla and toasty oak in a smooth mouthfeel. With lively acidity, the finish displays some spice and has long length carrying the fruit to the end.

Dark, sweet and quintessentially Russian River. Beautiful aromas and mouth-filling flavors.

Ok Pinot. Not very complex, dry and falls a little flat. Not my fave.

I am finding so many delicious Pinot Noirs from CA. This is the tops! A bit pricey half off wine Monday's at Z-grille in Saint Pete really helped. My son concurred and I was super glad to have him here for this great meal and fine wine!
