The 2010 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is juicier, richer and rounder than the Sonoma Coast bottling tasted alongside it. Here it's the immediacy of the fruit that speaks loudest. Cinnamon, cherries, plums and mint are some of the notes that flesh out on a juicy, exuberant finish that captures the essence of Russian River Pinot. (AG)

Bright ruby. Pungent, highly aromatic red berry and cherry aromas show an array of floral, Asian spice and herb nuances. Ripe but energetic black raspberry, cherry-cola flavors show a subtle smoky earthiness and gain sweetness with air. Finishes sappy and long, with a strong whiplash of bitter cherry. (ST)

Rich and expressive, with bold layers of ripe blueberry, plum and wild berry flavors that show touches of spice and espresso. At points open-knit, yet tightening on the finish. *Top 100 Wines of 2012, Highly Recommended* (JL)

K&L Notes

From the winery: "The 2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of eleven vineyards which lie in cool areas throughout the Russian River Valley. Russian River Valley is a complex region, and this Pinot Noir has many layers and complexities. The wine shows a range from bright red fruits to brambly voluptuous characteristics, all hallmark of the appellation. The individual lots are all unique, providing distinct aromas and flavors, and giving the blend broad complexity."
