Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2014 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has a little tar and rubber to begin, giving way to notes of baked cherries, mulberries and cranberry jelly with a dried Provence herbs and forest floor undercurrent. Medium to full-bodied, firm and rich in the mouth, it has a solid frame of chewy tannins and balanced acidity, finishing long. Built to age, it should cellar for a good 8-10 years or more.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Russian River is their largest cuvée of just over 4,000 cases. It is made from the grapes of five separate vineyards, and includes about 20% whole clusters in the fermentation. The wine displays sweet and sour cherries, a seductive, meaty herbaceousness and roundness, lush tannin and good depth of fruit and finish. This wine was aged in about 40% new French oak for 12 months, moved to tank for three months and then bottled unfiltered. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

A tight, seductive style, with subtle jazzy oak notes woven into the ripe plum and blueberry flavors. The tannins close in on the finish. Drink now through 2021. 4,865 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Sonoma / Russian River Valley Select to Add
