Trione 2008 River Road Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / River Road Ranch
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Trione / Russian River Valley

This Pinot certainly has lots of concentrated fruit, with an intensity of cherry and raspberry jam, pomegranates and cola. It’s also well oaked, to judge from the strong layer of buttered cinnamon toast. Feels strong and indelicate now, with a punch of acidity, but could mellow over the next 2–3 years.
