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.

Excellent value pinot noir
A very nice surprise at this price point. A good fruit, and something I'd happily serve company in a pinch.

Light pinot
Pinot usually have a distinct taste that you live but this one is on the light side. Drinkable but missing the aroma one expects.

Somewhat robust Pino
Pino's for me are too light in terms of appreciating red wine however this particular one had an interesting aroma which immediately made itself known as it hit the palate. Definitely worth having in your wine inventory as an in between filler.

Luscious velvety juice
This Pinot Noir has a great mouth feel. It’s not pretentious but fills your mouth with great taste. Like most Pinot Noirs it’s not too complex with mild tannins. However, when drinking it your tongue throws a party for your mouth.

Light in flavor
Very light, not quite as much depth as other CH Pinot Noirs that we love. Overall, very good for the price though.

Nice, easy drinker
I found this to be more subtle than typical Russian River pinots, but I was fine with that. A little cherry on the nose and an earthy finish.
