Aged beautifully, this is such a great expression of Sonoma coast Pinot. Complex. Textural. Umami. So much going on here. Sad this is the last bottle I own of it.

Nose: roses, red cherry, dark raspberry, toasted oak and clove. Palate: layers of fruit, glycerin and herbs. Red cherries, camphor, rhubarb, rosemary, strawberry and white chocolate. Hint of spice. Finish: Long finish with a lot of detail.
This is an awesome RRV pinot year after year, but the balance and layered nuance is really showing now.

Excellent wine. Very light and lean. From magnum, pale color. The nose is the best part - lively raspberry, some faint earth, perfume. The body doesn't hold up as much - needs cheese or other food - but has that zingy electricity one loves from the Keefer fruit.
