This Pinot Noir exemplifies the 2017 vintage, carrying all the expected traits of an exemplary growing season in Russian River Valley, as well as Carneros. The nose offers fresh pomegranate juice, strawberry, ripe Bing Cherry, and notes of sarsparilla, which leads into tart cranberry, a subtle touch of mace and silky refined tannins. French oak barrels lend support with hints of creamy vanilla without overpowering the fresh, fruit-forward palate.
