This delicate pinot from the Russian River shows exceptional balance, with a pretty floral note on the nose and a touch of earthy forest floor and fall spice on the palate. It’s another of this rockin’ “under $30” pinots that are increasingly finding their way into the market. Platinum award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
