Dark cherry meets mineral precision in this perfectly balanced Russian River expression.
Dark cherry concentration leads, followed by lavender florals and graphite minerality. Sage herbaceousness adds complexity without overwhelming. Iron-laced tannins provide structure. Finish lingers with earthy undertones. Built for cellaring but drinking beautifully now. Classic cool-climate Pinot with serious depth.
