Kitten Swish I'm Here Now Pinot Noir 2012
Green Valley, Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSweetly ripe, this pretty, perfumed strawberry jam-imbued pinot charms with a generous fleshy mouthfeel and fine florals. Light bodied, with an appealing lightness to the core, this is framed by supple tannins and has a subtle dusting of nutmeg and pink peppercorn on the finish. This is a single vineyard barrel selection from Russian River Valley's Green Valley sub-appellation. The wines were 10% whole cluster fermented in a mix of concrete egg and stainless steel before time in older oak barrel. On pointe now but can hold for a couple more years in cellar easy, this is a new view for Russian River pinot.Tasted: 15 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:AB | $65.00 | 750ml | |
