This Pinot Noir is from River Terrace vineyards located in close proximity to the Russian River where many summer days of late breaking morning fog create an excellent climate for this early maturing grape.  This is an elegant noble wine with silky seductive flavors of black cherry, plum, strawberry and spice.  Aged 18 months in a combination of 45% new French and American oak yields perfumed bouquet aromas with velvet texture and supple mouthfeel.
