The Russian River Valley in Sonoma has a well deserved reputation for Pinot Noirs with ripe flavors and supple palates. Given to warm days and cool nights, Pinot Noir here achieves full flavor maturity without becoming overripe.
The nose shows intense black cherries, blackberries, blood oranges, honeysuckle blossom, rose petals and white pepper. On the palate, black cherries, blood oranges, pomegranates, nutmeg, with a long finish and round, velvety tannins and an elegant finish.
