Damn that's good. Nice fruit up front, a little tingle and tannin, then a silky dry finish. Spectacular balance and paired really beautifully with the complexity of a shrimp & grits plate

I got ripe apple on the nose at first. Extremely subtle anise flavors with over ripe bing cherry. The 2013 vintage is still very young, but it will be so good in like a year.

Excellent Russian River fruit. Red cherry notes with a touch of smoke. Excellent with food.

Juicy ripe cherry and berry flavors and a slightly bitter citrus tea finish stand out in this well balanced Russian River Pinot Noir.

We give this: red cranberry, licorice, vanilla, clove, earth and dark cherry finish. This is some full body and it is rich like Beverly Hills.

Very smooth & fruity, but not too fruity. It was a gift from a neighbor but we’ll be buying this wine for sure.

Wine.com 20-30 brought to killington, I’m honestly already drunk and it was almost frozen from being outside when I drank it but it was good
