Davis Bynum, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2010

Mar 28, 2012

By Michael Franz

 Fresh, focused and admirably delicate, this is a very well made Pinot featuring beautifully ripened fruit recalling both red and black cherries with a subtly smoky undertone.  A suggestion of sweet strawberry fruit in the finish is nicely counterbalanced by unusually bright acidity.  Very versatile and very well made.  Platinum award winner at the San Diego International Wine Competition.
