(Stoller Family SV Estate Pinot Noir Dundee Hills) Pale ruby in color. Though still wound up tightly, this remains an immediately appealing, fruit forward wine with tree bark, peppermint, forest floor, cinnamon, and black cherries. The palate does not hold back- it’s true to the vintage - full throttle, plush, rich, and concentrated with vibrant cherry and cranberry flavors with cinnamon and vanilla accents and a full flavored feel. 100% Pinot Noir. Aged 10 months in French oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol.
