This 14 year old Pinot Noir is a good sipping wine, that also paired nicely with food.

Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🎈🎊 🧨
Excellent vintage. I think even better for Pinot than Cabernet in some cases.
Baked blackberries, black raspberries, raspberries, black plum, baked, dark cherries, notes of blueberries, dry cranberries/rhubarb, maple syrup, limestone minerals, dry crushed rocks, dry, grilled meats, dry tobacco, wood shavings, anise, cinnamon stick, clove, nutmeg, dark spice, some black lichen, vanillin, warm caramel, sun tea, mid berry cola, dry twig, withering to decayed, dark, red, purple flowers, round acidity, well made, structured, balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and lands on dark spice, earthiness.

Birthday celebration. You know it's great with the shocked face of someone tasting Kosta for the first time. She looks up and say "oh, this could get me in a lot of trouble". Great fruit, balance n finish. Happy birthday

Classic RRV Pinot, the 2012 is showing beautifully already! Bright red raspberry and tart cranberry with subtle herbal notes. Oak on the palate, but not too heavy handed....solid!!
