Wine Review: This slightly cloudy and dark ruby colored blackberry and boysenberry bouquet with hints rhubarb and cedar. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, lively and expressive. The flavor profile is a black raspberry and blackberry blend with notes of milk chocolate and cedar. I also detected hints of stone dust and rhubarb. The finish is dry and its fine tannins and flavors drifts away nicely. This Pinot would pair well with a veal chop. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This appellation blend is at the core of our portfolio of wines and offers a complete portrait of the Russian River Valley. Five different clones grown in a variety of vineyards were individually fermented to produce the distinctive lots chosen for this wine. We first notice the beautiful garnet color followed by fragrances of vanilla cola, black raspberry, fresh thyme and plum compote. On entry, the mouthfeel is soft and lush, with notes of black cherry, plum, cassis and milk chocolate. Juicy acidity bonds with structured tannins and lifts the long, spicy finish.
