Brice Cutrer-Jones’ team brings us this true exemplar of cool climate Pinot Noir from just off the western edge of Russian River Valley AVA. This means tart red fruit, zippy acidity and intense concentration. Rich oak spice joins cranberry, strawberry and pomegranate, and the finish is almost crisp like a white wine, with the oak toast pushing the spice into the distance.
