The Wine
2007 Vintage
Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley
Our 2007 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of seven vineyards which lie in and around the central part of the Russian River Valley appellation (known as the Santa Rosa Plain). This area gives the wine a spicy red fruit core with a rich, velvety and supple character. The individual lots are all unique, giving the blend a load of complexity. We recommend drinking this wine between 2010 and 2015.
Aromatics:
Aromas of fresh cherry, bright strawberry, kirsch and a hint of rich brown spices and stone fruit offer a forward introduction.
On the palate:
The first sip delivers a complex rush of flavors - rich raspberry, ripe Bing cherries and soft notes of cinnamon saturate and spread evenly around the palate. A slight hint of minerals, supported by soft tones of orange zest and sassafras are revealed through the silky finish. While the flavors are intense, it’s abalanced and sexy wine.
