O’Connell Vineyards, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2016

Mar 9, 2018

By Rich Cook

 An explosive nose of cherry, rhubarb and spice announces the pleasure about to happen on the palate once this gorgeous wine is sipped.  Racy acidity carries full-throttle flavors that are true to type, with a focus on the interplay between fruit and spice.  The finish blossoms broad and long with great integration.  Beautifully made!  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
