RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Fragrant and vibrantly structured, with expressive raspberry, green peppercorn and roasted sage flavors that build richness and tension toward briary tannins.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...lifted with fresh aromas of candied peach, grenadine, and pressed red flowers. Medium to full-bodied, with great energy in its notes of fresh mixed berries, gravelly earth, and mocha...elegant wine with fine tannins, a stony texture, and a good, clean finish.

91Vinous / IWC

...absolute delight. Bright and intensely floral...packed with varietal character. Crushed red berry fruit, white flowers and mint all race out of the glass...refreshing, juicy...an absolute winner.

17Jancis Robinson

Layers of spicy red chilli, blackberry, bramble and a dusty rockiness. Incredible depth of flavour, with high, mouth-watering acidity and huge concentration of fruit without being overly heavy. Very long on the finish. Continues to open and blossom – lovely.

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, Zinfandel

Zinfandel is a black-skinned grape, but 85% of the wine produced is made into a rosy “White Zinfandel.” Red Zin is far more complex and bold, while still being light-bodied. It grows in popularity as winemakers continue to experiment with new styles and blends.
