Ethereal Russian River Pinot marries floral elegance with surprising herbal complexity.
Rose petal aromatics leap from glass alongside violet perfume. Blueberry concentration fills mid-palate without heaviness. Cedar spice weaves through silky texture. Wintergreen finish adds unexpected botanical twist - distinctive signature for this vintage. Tannins barely register yet provide structure. Perfect ripeness captured from cool 2012 season. Drinking beautifully now but will hold another five years easily.
🍷 You want Burgundian elegance with California fruit intensity and love wines with herbal intrigue.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Wild mushroom risotto, Herb-crusted lamb chops, Aged gruyere cheese
