This is an outstanding, reasonably priced model of Russian River Valley pinot year-in and year-out. Iā€™m slowly building a vertical covering what is normally its ~10 year run. The 2018 is young but has a deep, dark fruit and creamy nose, red berry acids that tickle the tongue and plenty of fruit. My only complaint at this age is a high toned finish.
