O’Connell Vineyards, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2019

Mar 30, 2022

By Rich Cook

 Here’s a lighter, brighter breezier expression of Russian River.  It shows lively mixed red fruit, rhubarb, cola and vanilla oak tones that round off the vibrant acidity and add some mid palate richness.  It finishes long with a nice kiss of acidity that helps to integrate all the elements.  Well done!
