The 2017 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley comes from 11 vineyards across the appellation. It aged 10 months in 35% new French oak. Medium ruby, it has a savory nose of smoked cranberries, crushed red and black cherries, pipe tobacco, forest floor and hints of orange peel and potpourri. Light to medium-bodied, it's silky and intense with a great interplay of ripe fruits, spices and earth notions. It has a frame of grainy tannins and juicy freshness to enliven the long finish. Well done! 9,000 cases produced.

The dark cherry, mulberry and red currant flavors at the core are juicy and lively. Peppery hints show midpalate, with a finish that offers sanguine and hot stone notes. Drink now through 2023. 9,048 cases made.??–KM??Region: California / Sonoma / Russian River Valley Select to Add
