Cedar-kissed Pinot with violet perfume and surprising herbal complexity.
Rose petal aromatics rise immediately. Violet perfume follows. Blueberry concentration builds mid-palate. Cedar adds structural backbone without overwhelming fruit. Wintergreen finish provides unexpected herbaceous lift. Silky tannins frame everything perfectly. Drink now through 2027. This vintage hits peak Russian River expression.
