WineO Mark Review

This wine has savory aromas of oak, smoke, and other earthy notes. There are also scents of dark fruits like black cherry and blackberry.

On the palate, the taste features raspberries, cherries, oak, and licorice along with complex earthy flavors. The tannins are soft, creating a smooth wine and very enjoyable wine. But this Pinot also has a nice medium acidity to it.

It’s a rich, complex, and smooth Pinot Noir from the famous Russian River Valley wine region.
