A Cab drinker's Pinot. Certainly more aromatic interest than the regular RRV and probably not merely from barrel treatment. But an extremely low energy Pinot Noir, especially for 2009. This would be flaccid even if it actually was Cab.

Heads and shoulders above their Starr Ridge, same vintage, from a few nights ago. This is nicely balanced, very harmonious. The Starr was overly ripe, everextracted, almost porty.

This has now hit its prime. Very well balanced wine, nothing stands out. Good acidity, nice mouthfeel, nothing unpleasant. The only thing that hinders its grade is the finish is just average.

Sue's Visit and Dinners; 8/9/2019-8/11/2019 (Princeton, NJ): Lovely wine. Notes of Red berry, raspberry, cherry, spice, herbs, earth. Great with the slow-roasted duck, the wild rice and the red, local potato. These were $21 on sale.

Just a great balance of red fruits, acid, and earthy notes. Elegant.
