  This is a classic California Pinot Noir in my opinion. Nicely balanced and not too over the top even though it has 14.5% alcohol. Nice expression of the Pinot Noir fruit. Perhaps a bit more oak than I would like, however I say that about most California wines. Drink now or hold for a good five more years.

  Did not have the richness I expect from an RRV pinot noir. Not much ripeness or depth of fruit, and the texture was rather lean - again unusual for an RRV. What was there was nice enough with typical cherry flavors complemented by earth and spice. 88-89

  Really enjoyed this, good amount of oak and complexity. Big RRV Pinot that I think could be pretty versatile with food pairings. Nice nose, long finish, great mouth feel. Would buy again, great QPR in my opinion.

  Russian River. Earthy. Musky.

  Double decanted for and hour, in a gentle fashion. Dried cranberry, medicine, white truffle, light oak and crème brûlée. The middle palate takes lead, then the finish reverberates for a fortnight. Red fruit, yet ideal concentration. A RRV beauty to beholden from one of the single vineyard, Russian River purveyors in the Sonoma Pinot world. Drink 2015 - 2022.
