Elegant Russian River stunner balancing bright fruit with earthy sophistication.

Gorgeous raspberry aromatics lift from the glass alongside violet florals and forest floor. Silky texture carries bright red fruit through mid-palate complexity. Black tea tannins provide structure without weight. Mushroom earthiness emerges with air. Herbal finish shows remarkable length. Classic Russian River character at its finest. Drinking perfectly now with years ahead. Outstanding balance of power and finesse defines this exceptional bottling.
