RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...powerful bouquet of cassis, blueberries, and plum fruits to go with loads of spice box, orange zest, sandalwood, and flowery incense. Beautifully complex, medium to full-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins, it's another profound wine from this estate that delivers awesome complexity and richness in a weightless, elegant package.

94+ The Wine Advocate

...bold, singularly scented nose of red hot candy, eucalyptus and underbrush with black and red currant, licorice, peppered meats, ripe blue fruits and aniseed. The medium to full-bodied palate is bold, intense and ripe with loads of layers and flavor accenting. It has a firm, finely grained frame and great freshness on the long, cocoa-laced finish. This is gorgeous!

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.
