The nose opens with lovely Pinot Noir aromas of red fruit, strawberries and cherry stones, with some sage, all with a light dusting of white pepper. The red fruits, sage, and a background of licorice grow from attack to finish, all with a silky mouth feel, but tannins just tight enough to offer promise with more time in the cellar. While not inexpensive, this is a good bargain for a very nice Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
