Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Deep currant & boysenberry jump right up. As it relaxes Iām getting hints of cedar, oodles of crushed cherry. On the palate it brings a youthful but surprisingly composed, expressive and robust character. Perhaps a symptom of the ā14 vintage, the tannins are extremely smooth and melt delightfully into h mid-palate of the wine, leading to an elegant, if not a bit demure finish.

Find American pinot to always have high alcohol but hide it remarkably and keep their profiles right in check, much better than Oz. Stem, rose petal, tart fruit of cranberry, strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, slight smoke with an autumn leaf and mezcal like complexity. Medium plus acid, great intensity through the palate. Nice wine.

Bright ruby color. Perfumed strawberry, vanilla, floral notes and earthy aromas. Medium body, medium tannins, with flavors of raspberry, nutmeg, and dried herbs. Long finish.

Classic rrv fruit, bright cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, dried leaves and soil, nice expression better in 4-5 years.

The fruits seem overripe and syrupy. Blackberries, black cherries, strawberry preserves, raspberry preserves, lots of cola, red vines, red florals, vanilla, pronounced chalkiness, grainy dark minerals, crushed rocks with good acidity. It's a bit too sugary sweet for my taste. As well, the high alcohol shows in the nose, flavors and you feel it's heat. This wine is in the trick phase rather than the full treat phase this Halloween weekend. š» š

A little disjointed, overripe and overworked tasting on day one. Day two, a completely different story. Mellowed out and came together. Really dark fruited with some good structure. What a difference some air makes.
