Chappellet, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2018

May 19, 2021

By Marguerite Thomas

 From first sip to last drop this Pinot Noir offers lots and lots of pleasure.  Light baking spice in the aroma (clove, anise, fennel) segues to flavors of dark cherry and spice followed by subtle hints of espresso and cacao.  Smooth and satisfying tannins on the generous finish call for another sip.
