2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

The 2019 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is silky, elegant and refined right out of the gate. There's maybe a bit less exuberance than readers have come to expect from Michael Browne, but that is not a bad thing. The 2019 impresses with its total finesse. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint spice and blood orange build effortlessly in the glass. The 2019 is simply impeccable, and a real joy to taste.
