Not as light and elegant as many from RRV, this Pinot is in your face strawberry jam. There is some earthy funk, cherry cola, and just a hint of spice. The fruit is clean, crushed and lasting. Plenty of barrel tannin, but lacks the necessary acid. The nose really outshines the palate here.

I was excited to try this because I love the Joseph Swan Pinot made from this same vineyard. Overall it wasn't bad - a little one dimensional and a bit too fruit-centric for my personal taste...I prefer more earth and minerality in my Pinots, so I think I would stick with the Joseph Swan if given a choice between the two.

Wow, I am enjoying the strawberry jam with a funky side note on the aroma. This RRV Pinot is really making my mouth water in anticipation of letting this ruby nectar tickle my taste buds. This wine has got me under its spell, It falls right into that Burgundian specialness I love soooo well. Good strawberries, minerality, a bit of acidity with some good forrest soil. The mouth feel is medium to full and a good lasting enjoyable finish. The POP would totally love this RRV!
