A gorgeous, easy-drinking red that's full-bodied, saturated with ripe black fruit and generously spiced with oak nuances. Medium tannins and rather soft acidity add to a mouth-filling texture and lingering, almost-sweet finish. Drink now.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, matured in 21% new oak, has layered aromas of pomegranate, black cherry, blood orange, damp earth and spice. The full-bodied palate is brimming with layers of fruit, earth and spice. It’s framed by dusty tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a nuanced finish.

An enticing red, with vivid raspberry and cherry notes laced with hints of savory, mulling spices and rooibos tea, this stretches out nicely through the finish, gilded gently with cinnamon and sous-bois.
