J Vineyards, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County) 2013

Oct 27, 2015

By Robert Whitley

This delicate but intensely flavored Pinot from J is a welcome alternative to richer, riper, more robust Pinots that get most of the love from consumers these days. Showing an earthy, forest floor nose with a hint of cola and bright aromas of strawberry and red raspberry, this is a finely tuned Pinot that would match up nicely with poached salmon, roast chicken or braised rabbit.
