Orogeny, Russian River Valley (California) Pinot Noir 2011

A very well made wine that delivers pure, lasting flavors from a basic profile that is light, delicate, and very versatile at the table.  Subtle oak notes are layered over a core of dark cherry fruit, with fine-grained tannins that lend just the right degree of grip without introducing any astringency that would preclude stand-alone sipping….and very happy sipping at that.  Platinum Award winner at the 2013 San Diego International Wine Competition.
