The aroma of this wine is clearly that of Pinot Noir. You are initially greeted with black cherries, cola, roses and of course that distinctive earthiness. Upon further analysis there are more subtle aromas like cedar, brown sugar, peach candy, molasses and fresh dill. The use of new oak barrels added a nice spicy, toasty, smoky dimension. The palette of this Pinot Noir is consistent with the aromas. Fresh black cherries and cola up front fade into a lingering smoky, sandalwood aftertaste. It is a medium weight wine with smooth structure and vibrant acidity. 100% Russian River Valley.
