Tasting Notes
What a beautiful, smooth, bright, lively Pinot... the bouquet exhibits an array of classic Russian River aromas; white pepper, cinnamon, sarsaparilla, strawberry, bay leaf, cola, sweet violets and black cherry. The mouthfeel is full round and substantial with fantastic balance and a softness like crushed velvet. On the palate we get a deep, dark, rich, super lush, sensual texture and flavors of juicy fruit, cherry tart, strawberry and a bit of orange zest. The finish is very long and graceful.
