2019 Bow Tie Vineyard Pinot Noir
Our Bow Tie Vineyard Pinot Noir is a classic example of the Middle Reach neighborhood of the Russian River Valley. Elegant and expressive, opening with aromas of cranberry chutney, forest berry and spice. The silky-smooth palate is led by dark fruit notes of black cherry, boysenberry and blackcurrant, framed by hints of anise, cola and toasted oak. Fine, soft tannins and a touch of bright acidity will support the wine over years of aging.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir Bow Tie Vineyard has a medium ruby-purple color and broody expression, with scents of baked plums, cranberry sauce, mushrooms, nori and licorice. The medium-bodied palate is grainy and fresh with concentrated, ripe fruits and spicy accents, finishing long and earthy.
