Giusti Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
This has held up well. Good depth of fruit and enough acidity for balance.

Big, dark fruits dominate this RRV Pinot...improved significantly after 30-minutes...tinge of Oak initially that resolved itself by time of 2nd pour

2014 vintage - first time for this area. Elegant balanced wine - cherry, strawberry, long finish. Can't wait to try more vintages.

Dark reddish purple. Dark aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and licorice dominate with hints of mint and cedar. Remarkably bold dark fruit on the palate for a Pinot with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, 14.6% alcohol, and mildly spicy finish. Grapes grown in Giusti Ranch vineyard's iron oxide rich soils, almost completely destemmed, and aged 16% in concrete and only 32% in new French oak. Michael Browne has crafted another wine to please fans of the "Big Pinot Movement" and a nice step up from KB's appellation level offerings. 95$.
