Rated 90
A youthful ruby with a purple tinge, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is ripe with black raspberry liqueur, cola spice, and purple flowers. Full-bodied, with a crunchy, more angular structure, it offers sweet tannins, ripe red berries and wild herbs, a gravelly texture, and a bit of toasted cedar. Drink 2024-2030.
