2013 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

The 2013 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is a deep, powerful wine. Beams of tannin give the 2013 much of its authoritative personality, but there is good depth to the fruit as well. Sweet tobacco, flowers and herbs give the 2013 a distinctive savory edge. This is a slightly austere, reserved style for the Russian River, yet all the elements are nicely balanced just the same.
