2014 “the love” Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
This stunner comes out of the gate with aromas of spice, incense, hints of black pepper and wild red fruit on the nose. A delightful bouquet that embodies Russian River Valley perfectly and completely fills the glass. A rich mouth feel is realized with strength, finesse and elegant balance just like a beautiful ballet dancer. This wine shows both restraint and complexity with details of strawberry preserves, maraschino cherry, briar herbs, and a hint of leather and tobacco leaf. On the other hand, it demonstrates great muscle of classic Burgundy. This Pinot Noir finishes clean and for over 45 seconds. This wine will be enjoyed for 15 years or longer.
