RATINGS

96James Suckling

Rust, rock and stone. Blueberry and blackberry. Very aromatic. Full to medium body... Racy and so fine. Tangy acidity.

95Jeb Dunnuck

...perfumed, lifted bouquet of caramelized plums, raspberries, flowers, exotic spices and blood orange. Powerful and concentrated, yet still light on its feet and gracefully, with fine tannin and integrated acidity...

94Vinous / IWC

Gorgeous and super-expressive wine in which all of the elements come together... the Keefer is wonderfully expressive, nuanced and inviting. Red fruit, blood orange, mint and sweet spice notes add to the wine's considerable appeal

90Wine Spectator

A wine of substance and finesse, full of supple earth, gravel-laced berry and plum flavors. A charmer.

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.
