This is seriously good California Pinot from the Russian River Valley at an incredibly low price. You can taste the cool climate fruit right out of the gate with its ripe red cherry, blackberry and plum flavors perfectly balanced by fresh subtle acidity. It’s a must-buy for folks who drink American Pinot!
