Russian River Valley Pinot firing on all cylinders—pure, structured, haunting.

Bing cherry floods the glass immediately. Black tea tannins provide backbone without overwhelming delicate fruit core. Mid-palate reveals sarsaparilla spice, forest floor minerals. Earthy undertones anchor bright acidity. Finish stretches endlessly—cherry liqueur, dried herbs, subtle smoke. This 2019 vintage captures Russian River's cool-climate precision. Drink now for exuberance or cellar five years for tertiary complexity. Pure expression of site and grape.
