Wine Description
The wine aged for twelve months in small French oak barrels, thirty percent of which were new. The 2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir was blended just prior to bottling to allow each lot to fully develop before final decisions were made, allowing the fruit to reach it's fullest expression.
The 2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir exhibits the full potential of our vineyards and the unique terroir of our region. Aromas of bright red cherries radiate, followed by subtle notes of damp earth, mushrooms, liquorish and spices. A fat entry and broad mouthfeel engulf the palate with flavors of cherries, raspberries, strawberries, and a lingering finish of cola and oak. This striking Pinot Noir stands up beautifully with Lamb Shish Kebabs on your summer grill.
