Winemaker Notes
This 2018 Pinot Noir exhibits aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, strawberry and spice. The 2018 Russian River delivers generous black cherry, black raspberry and cranberry with notes of earth and black tea. Elegant, balanced, lush and focused. Mouthful is ample and plush gaining depth with a lingering velvety finish.

Readers looking for a textbook Russian River Pinot should check out the 2018 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley. Offering up a medium ruby hue as well as lots of spiced red fruits, cola, leafy herbs, and flowery incense, it's medium to full-bodied and has a wonderful sense of balance and purity, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's a big wine (over 15% alcohol), yet it still comes across as light and graceful.

This has mossy, earthy aromas, alongside red plum, ripe blueberry and dried citrus zest. Hints of ash and dark chocolate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine, tight tannins and bright acidity. Flavorful and precise finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium ruby in color, the 2018 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is scented of red cherries and cranberries with notes of orange peel, tobacco leaf and underbrush. The light-bodied palate has great intensity and nuance, grainy and fresh with a long finish.
