Purplish in color with light intensity.
Medium bodied with medium acidity, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing cherries, currants, chocolates, light wood, tobacco and spices
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley is still young, but already enjoyable even by itself.
Soft and elegant, fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced, spicy and entertaining.
Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.
A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were hand picked and aged for 10 months in French oak barrels. A tiny production of only 2,400 bottles.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$87.

If there’s a nicer Pinot Noir than this, it’s probably another one from Iron Horse.

My boy Jack @Jack Bender( Yes there are 2 Benders on Delectable@Bill Bender ) definitely related but don't realize it, gave me this when I turned 58 (yikes!) Anyway I taste cherries, mushrooms and raspberries. Nice acid also. Alcohol and body is even with scent of cocoa and potting soil
Thx JB
