River Road, Green Valley of Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2014

Mar 10, 2016

By Rich Cook

This area is renowned for great Pinot Noir for good reason, and all those reasons show in this bottling.  Rich cool climate fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry, damp earth, flowers and powder are joined by rich oak spice, and these all translate directly to palate flavors, with popping acidity extending the finish and maintaining full integration.  Beautifully made wine.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Monterey International Wine Competition.
