2016 Barrel 16 Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley / Sonoma County
Barrel 16 Pinot Noir is aged in a mix of new and neutral French oak, imparting subtle notes of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose and fine tannins on the palate. Velvety-smooth, notes of cranberry fruit leather, strawberry, star anise and dried rose are backed by hints of shiitake mushrooms.
