Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A pretty, even elegant, Russian River release is the 2014 Pinot Noir Koplen Vineyard, which saw around 20% whole clusters and just under a quarter of new oak. Plums, spice box, black cherries and violets all flow to a medium to full-bodied, pure, seamless and silky 2014 that has fine tannin, no hard edges and a great finish. It shows more and more elegance with time in the glass and will impress for at least a decade.

Begins restrained but expands, gaining velocity and depth, with gravel-laced tannins and supple plum and black cherry flavors. Impressive for the delicate aftertaste. Drink now through 2022.
