Silky Russian River Pinot with violet perfume and earthy mushroom depths.

Violet perfume rises immediately. Bright raspberry mingles with black tea and forest floor. Silky mouthfeel carries mushroom earthiness through mid-palate. Herbal notes add complexity without overwhelming fruit. Fine tannins provide structure. Clean mineral finish suggests five-year drinking window. Classic Russian River elegance with unusual depth.
