Lynmar's 2012 Quail Hill delivers textbook Russian River elegance with spellbinding complexity.

Gorgeous aromatics leap from glass. Cherry liqueur mingles with rose petal perfume. Cola spice weaves through earthy undertones. Silky texture carries concentrated fruit without heaviness. Mid-palate shows remarkable depth. Floral notes persist. Earthy minerals ground the experience. Spice builds through long finish. This Pinot achieves rare harmony between power and finesse. Peak drinking window opening now through 2025.
