Flavor Profile
Reviews (1)
Dark, brooding Russian River Pinot with serious backbone and haunting forest complexity.
Dark plum and blackberry surge forward. Cocoa dust weaves through earthy forest floor. Licorice root adds mysterious depth. Silky yet structured tannins grip without overwhelming. The finish stretches long with lingering spice and mineral notes. This vintage shows remarkable concentration while maintaining Russian River's signature elegance. Drink now for fruit expression or cellar five years for tertiary development. Serious Pinot for serious collectors.
๐ท You want Russian River Pinot with Burgundian gravitas and aren't afraid of bold flavors.
Pairs with: Duck confit with cherry gastrique, Grilled portobello mushrooms, Herb-crusted lamb chops, Aged Gruyรจre
