The 2018 vintage provided the raw materials to produce a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with intense fruit and spice aromas and layered texture.  Aromas are dominated by red fruits of plum and vine-ripened raspberry, while black fruits dominate on the palate.  The vibrant aromas expand and give way to red plum, toasted brioche and allspice.  On the palate the wine has integrated acidity and fine tannins that should allow for mid-term cellaring. As always, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
