Rodney Strong Vineyards
Reserve Russian River Valley Pinot Noir


Three common clones in Willamette here in RRV, and I get that on the nose, especially the Pommard. But the body is huge by comparison, to Oregon. Earthy and fruity, good acid.

Good, but needs more time in the bottle. Should soften in a year or so.
