Whetstone is consistently good. This is a beautiful RRV Pinot that reminds me of cherry cola & with a bit of leather. The color is deep and opaque. Heavier than what I'm used to, and quite lovely

Celebrating Preeti’s first day. Nice dark color. Bit of oak smell, but no oak taste. Mostly cherry and plum. Delicious.

Wow, just got this Pinot from Whetstone. This is seriously good. Nose is earthy and with a big, dense fruit rush. Legs are long, but you don't get that true alcohol taste. My Riedel Som Pinot glass is brimming with a dark, almost eggplant color...every swirl releases a wonderful aroma. Just beautiful.

An authentic expression of high quality Russian River Pinot Noir made by a dear friend and excellent winemaker Jamey Whetstone.
