Cuvée Ivonne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Happy International Pinot Noir Day. Here is a nice one to celebrate with.
This is a very nice and easy drinking Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced with mild complexity and a very nice mouthfeel.
Showing blue and red fruits with spices, licorice, oak, vanilla, black pepper and light earth.
Spicy and engaging. Fresh and fruit forward. Refreshing when lightly chilled.
A good quality wine that will age nicely in the next 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. I paired it with Brie cheese by the pool.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. A tiny production of only 5 barrels.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$42.

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, chocolates, vanilla, licorice and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Soft and smooth.
Dry on the palate with bing cherries, strawberries, raspberries, spices, light chocolates, oak, black pepper, licorice and light vanilla.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley. Easy drinking with mild complexity. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Light and airy.
Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Would be nice to see how this evolves in 3 to 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle. I gave it a light chill and paired it with a beautiful view.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were hand picked and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (30% new). A small production of only 5 barrels made.
