Brilliantly evolved Russian River Pinot hitting its stride after decade.

Stunning aromatics reveal bing cherry liqueur, black tea leaves, exotic spices. Palate delivers gorgeous concentration without weight. Sarsaparilla mingles with forest floor earthiness. Silky tannins frame bright acidity perfectly. This 2012 has developed magnificent tertiary complexity while retaining vibrant fruit core. Finish stretches endlessly with spice box nuances. Drink now through 2028 for peak enjoyment.
