Portalupi 2013 Russell Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Russell Family Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Portalupi / Paso Robles

Crushed cloves, allspice and nutmeg are sprinkled across a ripe olallieberry base on this wine from a vineyard owned by the founder of Rabbit Ridge. It’s thick and dense on the palate, perhaps too much so for some, with dried cherries, cranberries, lots of spice and even some tar elements.
