Wine Details
Such a pretty nose: delineated ripe strawberries, cinnamon, cherry, and fresh potting soil haloed by garden sage. On entry it still shows a bit of youth, but excellent cherry-like acidity is already in play with tar and mushrooms amidst small, velvety tannins. The finish is quite terroir-focused, interwoven with additional savory notes. Eager to please at the dinner table now, but it will also reward those who have the patience to wait.

The Russian River AVA has been the darling of critics for what feels like forever, and its estates boast a never-ending list of top ratings and gold medals galore. Anchored by rare sandy loam “Goldridge” soils formed by an ancient sandstone seabed, the region’s vineyards are bathed in a cool coastal climate perfect for growing Pinot. Lot 729 is a gem that was produced by terrific winemaking talent, and the “bang for your buck” factor here is abundant in spades.
