Ransom Pinot noir Selection 09

This Ransom Pinot noir is named "Selection" as it is made from a selection of vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA of Oregon's Willamette Valley. Bright, fresh raspberries and cherries mingle with wild violets in the nose. The red fruit flavors deepen with fresh fig and pie spice, and Tad's trademark hint of earth and minerals is present in the perfect amount. It has a long, sweet,smooth finish, juicy and satisfying.
