RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...offers notions of red roses and baked cherries with hints of cranberry sauce and tilled soil plus a waft of mossy bark. Medium-bodied with a plush, delicate frame of soft tannins and background acid, it fills the palate with earthy and red fruit layers, finishing long and savory.

93Wine Spectator

Exhibits a generous core of fleshy blackberry and wild berry flavors, giving this depth and dimension. Finishes with a long, elegant, juicy aftertaste.

93Vinous / IWC

Sweet tobacco, earthiness, leather, and smoke...dark, meaty style, but it all works very nicely.

92Wine Enthusiast

...offers a depth of aromatic intensity and is expansive in velvety tannin. Spicy cherry, strawberry and a compelling thread of cola highlight a succulence on the midpalate that lingers leisurely on the finish.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...medium to full body, loads of sweet fruit, a rounded, sexy texture and classic notes of black cherries, leafy herbs, and gravelly, earthy minerality...

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.
