Sonoma-Cutrer, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2010

May 22, 2014

By Rich Cook

Here is a beautiful red wine from Chardonnay specialist Sonoma Cutrer, featuring red cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, medium toast, cola and fall spice aromas.  It’s full bodied and creamy on the palate, with bright cherry fruit, nice acid structure and good translation of the nose elements.  The finish is long and well integrated, with some mouth watering grip keeping things lively long after it’s gone.  I would give this a bit of bottle age.
