Country: US / Suacci Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Suacci Carciere Wines / Russian River Valley
This bottling comes from two Pinot clones planted within a 6.5-acre vineyard in Blucher Valley, a frigid, low-yielding site. On the edge of ripeness, the wine is unusual in orange pith, cranberry and pomegranate with a vividly tangy crispness. Soy, balsam and pine tar provide an edgy character that adds complexity and texture.
