VML 2012 Floodgate Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: VML / Floodgate

Suggestive of smoked duck, which would make a good pairing, this wine offers toasted oak around a core of raspberry-rhubarb compote, slightly complemented in herb. Velvety on the palate, it’s well-composed, earthy and bright.
