Rodney Strong Russian River Pinot Noir Estate Vineyards 2003

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSaddle leather, barnyard, coffee, vanilla, rootsy, carrot top aromas with some strawberry jam. Ripe, round, dry but elegant with good acidity. Smoky vanilla, stewed rhubarb, orange peel, licorice root, cherry flavours with a touch of resin and compost on the finish. Warm finish with good intensity. A slightly tighter style a la Burgundy needs a year or so or try with turkey or duck. Lovely pinot.Tasted: 24 December 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
