2011 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting notes:

This wine has picked up some nice palate weight as it has aged. Rich forest floor and loam dominate with some ripe fruit aromatics like a blueberry compote fill the glass with some supporting leather and minty notes. The palate has become very silky and full still offering lush dark fruit with a mouthwatering finish.  (Updated 3.10.23 - Alan)
