This youthful Pinot Noir is a true expression of the Russian River Valley - one of the greatest areas in the world for this varietal. An explosion of bright fruit, dried strawberries, cherry and red fruits, along with notes of cola and anise make this wine complex, energetic and well-focused. The full-bodied palate has a rich texture with soft yet firm tannins that jump out and end with a nice balance of acidity. The fruit for this wine comes from a single vineyard close to the River that a prominent producer uses for their estate Pinot Noir.
