Russian River Pinot firing on all cylinders - earthy sophistication meets pure fruit.
Black cherry intensity meets violet florals upfront. Clove spice weaves through rich loamy earth notes. Sassafras adds unexpected herbal complexity. Medium-bodied with silky texture, well-integrated tannins. Long finish shows both fruit concentration and terroir character. Ready now but will develop beautifully through 2027.
