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

  This hefty Pinot from EnRoute is rich and powerful, with layered black- and red-fruit aromas, a touch of earthy forest floor and notes of wood spice on the finish. This is an impressive wine with more heft than most Pinot Noir, but the purity and depth of fruit make up for any sensory loss of elegance due to the power and sheer weight of the wine.
