Country: US / Stiling Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Gary Farrell / Russian River Valley
A strong, punchy Pinot Noir, ungainly now for its immaturity, showing tons of jammy raspberries and cherries. The acidity is tart, which is good in a wine this rich, providing balance, and there’s also a scour of tannins. All indications suggest cellaring this wine for at least six years.
