Rodney Strong Russian River Pinot Noir Estate Vineyards 2016
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThis is a big, bold pinot noir from Russian River Valley. Expect ripe, jammy fruit that's awash in cinnamon and sweet spices from aging 14 months in French oak (35% new). At this level of ripeness, and 14.5% abv, it's a bit flat and lacking freshness, with a smattering of chalky tannins. Moderate length. Best enjoyed with a slight chill.Tasted: 24 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $28.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Mark Anthony Brands |
