Russian River
Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir exudes rich aromas of ripe red cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle floral notes of violet and hints of earthy undertones, providing depth and intrigue. The palate is silky and smooth, offering a harmonious blend of red fruit flavors, notably strawberry and cranberry, intertwined with nuances of vanilla and spice from careful aging in French oak.

The wine's medium body is supported by fine tannins and a well-balanced acidity that leads to a long, refined finish.
