J Vineyards, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2015

 Here’s a well integrated Pinot Noir that will please a crowd.  It runs right down the middle of the spectrum of possibility of the variety.  Cherry, strawberry, brown spice, bright acidity and medium oak toast make a well rounded package that with run the table from fish to beef.  Nicely done!  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
