RODNEY STRONG PINOT NOIR- RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
$19.99
TASTING NOTES
The 2016 Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has lovely aromas of red fruit, floral and earth. With a soft and silky texture, on the palate dark cherry, cranberry, and baking spice characteristics shine through with balance, acidity and a nice lingering finish. This medium bodied wine was aged for 14 months in small French oak barrels, which added a hint of toasty vanilla and spice complexity.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Enjoy this Pinot Noir now with charcuterie, wild mushroom risotto and grilled pork tenderloin.

Description
Wine Spectator – 91
Refined, featuring lithe flavors of cherry tart and raspberry, with hints of nutmeg, all supported by medium-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Chocolate, spice and cream details emerge on the rich finish. Drink now through 2024.
Wine Enthusiast – 91
Bright in acidity and cradled moderate oak, this wine shows a crunchiness to the tannins and bright bursts of cranberry, pomegranate and orange peel flavors. Elements of baking spice dot the finish, contrasting well against the rich fruit.
