TASTING NOTES
Our Russian River Pinot Noir vineyard exhibits classic Burundian terroir. This 2005 Pinot combines earthy, leathery aromas with fresh pomegranate and dried cherry flavors. Elegant tannins and acid balance out to a smooth, delicate mouth-feel. New oak flavors mingle with hints of vanilla and soft rose petals to finish off a well-balanced wine. This wine with its creative complexity will continue to evolve over the next 10 years.
