Top Notes For

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 “Olivet Ranch” pours a translucent ruby with medium viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, some red rope licorice, red flowers, fine spices and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A more restrained expression from RRV. Drink now through 2032+.

2022. Second Pinot Noir we had tonight and this elegant cherry forward wine paired very nicely with a freshly smoked salmon filet and vegetable paella.
