The 2017 Russian River is drinking better at this stage than the Doctors Vineyard. Round, better integration, smoother. Perfect ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries, some pomegranate, both licorices-more black, mid berry cola, steeped fruit tea, feels like their might have been some stem inclusion, caramel & vanilla notes, light tarriness, limestone minerals, volcanics, beautiful dark, red florals. Excellent acidy. Nicely balanced and polished finish that lasts nearly two minutes.

Easy drinking, cherries and peppery spice and everything nice. These pinots are always a bit bigger, but the heat wasn't noticeable and its lush mouthfeel complemented a great conversation with a friend and mentor.
