Pinot Noir Russian River Valley (0.75 L)

A splash of red cherry and wild strawberry pops first, joined by cranberry, pornegranate, and a twists of blood-orange zest. Hints of rose petal, black tea, and a brush of dried thyme drift in, with French-oak spice – cinnamon, stick, clove, vanilla, and a whisper of sandalwood – playing rhythm section. The finish is long clean, and echoing – red cherry, tea leaf, and a dusting of cocoa and five spice that lingers for one more sip.
