Rodney Strong Russian River Pinot Noir Estate Vineyards 2016

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe 2015 offered a sea change in style and the 2016 treks down the new path too. A lighter, more translucent red colour previews a soft, spicy, cedar, forest floor affair that spills across the palate. The attack is silky and very spicy with a mix of twiggy, earthy, red fruit along with a more ethereal Russian River style, long on silky textures but without the heat and power of many of its brethren - and less sweetness. This is a very good direction with more complexity and interest and with a balance that makes it more food friendly. Bravo Rodney Strong.Tasted: 26 January 2019Tasted by: Prices:
