Not sure RRV gets much better. Nice red fruit, acidity and balance. Very good!

Great Pinot. Love the balance. Bright red fruits, cherry and balsamic notes, all balanced with great acidity and just the right amount of ripeness. Very well done

2011 is singing right now. Restraint and balance. Cranberry, sour cherry, herb. So pretty. Wish I had more.

Straight forward, classic RRV Pinot. Strawberry/vanilla. Round, but still elegant on the mouth.

What a killer balance of opposites on the nose: a wave of bright, ripe berries is followed by an aged, black-fruit-forward note that kinda reminds me of Rioja reserva! An elegant cologne-scent peaks out behind waves of fresh fruit. On the palate, that subtle interplay continues. I love the amount of leather, cologne, and cigar box I get on this fresh, new-world delicacy! Magic!

Beautifully balanced with just the right amount of fruit hints. Has substance as well. '12 in delicious.
