Juicy tones of black fruit and strawberry highlight this well-made, earthy wine, which was fermented in tank before spending nearly a year in oak. Medium in weight, yet dark and brooding, it shows secondary notes of cola, baking spice and vanilla.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Russian River is pale to medium ruby-purple colored and vibrantly scented of red cherries, raspberries and chocolate box with a touch of dried herbs. Medium-bodied, soft, juicy and offering plenty of straightforward red fruit flavors, it gives a refreshing finish.
