Rodney Strong Pinot Noir Reserve 1999

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesStrong smoky vanilla oak aromas with resiny carrot-top aromas and a wisp of cherry jam. Hot dry and bitter on the mid-palate with a smoky, meaty chewy peppery resiny aftertaste. Needs time but the fruit is in a life and death battle at this point. Not cheap.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
