The 2023 ru Pinot Noir opens with classic Russian River Valley character, with dark cherry and plum layered alongside a touch of savory forest floor. On the palate, it’s lively and mouthwatering, with notes of pomegranate, star anise, and cedar unfolding through a smooth, seamless texture. There’s a gentle silkiness that carries through the finish, making this an inviting, versatile pinot noir.
