Very smooth, a little earthy and just enough acid for most dishes. We had it with swordfish, but would be very versatile.

Light to medium bodied; fruity for a Pinot.

Light red in color.

On the nose, strawberries, cherries, vanilla, oak and light black pepper.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, wood, light vanilla, ripe cherries, oak and minerals.

Medium bodied and balanced with nice acidity.

Medium finish with soft tannins .

This Russian river Pinot Noir Reserve is much nicer than their Sonoma Pinot.
Poured by the wine maker, Joe Freeman, which made this experience even nicer.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

Spicy, fruity, elegant and smooth Pinot with subtle undertones of raspberry and cola. This is research in preparation of a trip to Sonoma in May and I may just have to add this winery on my list of places to visit.

Tons of cherry and berry fruits complimented by high acidity allow this wine to be paired with food or drank alone. Very versatile Pinot!
