Tasting notes
Leading off the reds, the 2016 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is the appellation blend of the estate and spent 15 months in 47% new French oak. Its vivid ruby color is followed by a great nose of black raspberries, mulled cherries, forest floor, and earth. It's medium to full-bodied, has a rounded, mouthfilling texture, terrific fruit, and a great finish. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.

Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is scented of tobacco leaf, smoke, dried leaves and dusty earth over savory black fruits with blue fruit nuances. Medium-bodied, it packs in the savory dark fruits in the mouth, framed by firm, grainy tannins and finishing long with earthy layers. 175 cases produced.
