RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...bouquet of ripe black raspberries, redcurrants, roasted herbs, loamy earth, and sandalwood. Rich, almost full-bodied, and beautifully textured, with silky, polished tannins...

...aromas of blackberry preserves, dried red and blue flowers, blood orange and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate is silky and intense...lush black fruits layered with spices, earth and floral accents, a seamless structure and long finish.

94Vinous / IWC

...rush of sweet red cherry fruit, mocha, spice, cola, licorice and plum race across the palate. Succulent and engaging, with soft contours...

93Wine Spectator

The rich core of well-structured dark cherry and red berry flavors show vibrant minerality and savoriness, with fine-grained spiciness midpalate. Ends with a pure-tasting finish that lingers with underbrush notes.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Russian River Valley

Russian River Valley AVA is named for the river that meanders from Mendocino County in the north until it finally runs into the Pacific Ocean north of San Francisco. The AVA is cool thanks to its proximity to the northern California coast and the river, and grape growers must learn to deal with regular fog. Nevertheless in recent decades the AVA has become one of the best in the state, meaning that its wines often earn excellent reviews and have considerable cachet. The AVA status was awarded in 1983 and today the appellation has 15,000 vineyard acres. Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape though Pinot Noir has also been very successful in recent decades. Russian River Valley Pinot Noir are known for being rich, lush and filled with concentrated fruit and berry flavors. Russian River Pinot Noirs are today considered some of the best domestic Pinot Noirs.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
