Russian River Pinot firing on all cylinders—dark fruit meets forest floor complexity.
Bing cherry and sarsaparilla leap from the glass. Black tea tannins provide structure without overpowering the fruit core. Mid-palate shows beautiful spice integration—white pepper, dried herbs. Earthy undertones ground the wine's exuberance. Forest floor minerals emerge on the lengthy finish. This 2020 captures Russian River's signature elegance while packing serious concentration. Drink now through 2032.
🍷 You want California Pinot that rivals Burgundy's complexity without the pretense.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Grilled portobello mushrooms, Herb-crusted rack of lamb, Wild salmon with pinot reduction
