2010 Martin Ray Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

On the nose there is strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, Carmel, cola, earthy spice and dusty soil.

On the palate there is new strawberry, raspberry, a flint minerality and some spice.

Medium acidity, integrated medium tannins with a medium body.

Nostrovia!🍷🍷

Excellent Wine. Russian river valley always delivers. Not the best Russian river I've had and probably at the low end but still an excellent wine
