Complements of @David L, thank you. First time experiencing this PN. Bold and assertive wine that has a since of place. Core of raspberry and roses. Supple, graceful and deep on the mid palate. Balanced, with a long rich full bodied aftertaste. Thanks DL!

For a RRV pinot much more subtle than one would expect. I really enjoyed it!

Yeah, this was pretty awesome. It has been a while since a Russian River Pinot has gotten my attention.

Creamy and lush mid-palate followed by a persistent finish of fruit, supple tannins and dried spices

Russian River pinot that deserves to be in the discussion of the best in the appellation. Elegant fruit, balanced oak and great acidity.
