Normally there’s some space between reviews, but this Russian River Valley gem was a standout from a tasting this afternoon. Lovely wafts of fresh dark roses and ripe red berries carry the aromas, transitioning into an incredibly elegant, soft cherry and strawberry palate that keeps the floral elements lingering. The acidity on this wine is phenomenal, helping the wine dance pirouettes in your mouth. This may be the most refined and complete California pinot noir I’ve had in a long time; seductive in profile, yet coy and uplifting in presence. It’s absolutely gorgeous. 93 pts.
