Showing clear clarity and medium intensity, this wine possesses a bright ruby color in appearance. A clean, developing nose of medium intensity shows juicy red fruits like cranberry, raspberry, strawberry and cherry. Additional notes of rhubarb, spearmint, ginger, nutmeg and vanilla play a supporting role to the generous fruit. This is classic western Russian River Valley pinot noir! The palate is dry and shows medium acidity and flavor intensity with medium plus body and length. Zesty acidity, silky, supple and well-integrated tannins along with well-defined, soft, juicy red fruits make this an ideal wine with pork or duck.
94 Point Review - The Prince of Pinot Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Fantastic aromatic presence with electric aromas of dark raspberries, Hoison sauce and exotic spices. The rich core of delicious dark red, spicy berry fruits is elevated by the citrus-driven acid spine. The tannins are well balanced and the finish is generous and focused. Hard to put this one down.
