Wine Review: This Pinot Noir has it all. It is very dark purple and opens with a very attractive spicy black raspberry and blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, very nicely balanced, and silky. The flavor profile is a delicious rich blueberry. The finish is dry and its well managed moderate tannins drift away nicely. I can’t say enough good things about this wine. It is classic Russian River Pinot. Pair this gem with duck and have a special dinner you will remember fondly. Cheers - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Deep, opaque ruby color carries bold aromas of red cherry, cola and clean earth that carry through to a seamless, silky palate. The balance of pure, perfectly ripened berries and undertones of forest floor accented by refreshing acidity weave together for a velvety pinot noir of great finesse. Fine‐grained tannins complemented by top notes of bergamot and white pepper grace a long finish.
