Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

This is one of Jean's favorite Pinot noirs, Russ makes very little of this wine, his best, and its subtle complexity and evocative scent and flavors improve for 8-12 years with cellaring.

The wine is of medium color, with aromas evocative of a piney wood, with an undercurrent of raspberry and red currant. The wine has a viscosity and texture in the mouth that is unexpected, given the medium color, and the sweet fruit flavors are enhanced by layers of everchanging hints of the flavors of smoked meats, basalt, black fruit, minerals, and pine. While open and inviting now, this wine would benefit from 4-6 years of cellaring, and would continue to be interesting and pleasing for 10-12 years.
