2017 Pinot Noir
93 Points
“Notes of pine forest, spice, violets, wild strawberries, and lifted blue fruits emerge from the 2017 Pinot Noir Barbieri Vineyard, which is medium-bodied, with a silky, elegant texture and no hard edges. It’s one of the perfumed, pretty, elegant wines and ideal for drinking over the coming 4-6 years.”
About This Wine
A quintessential Russian River Valley Pinot Noir – an opulent wine bursting with ripe cherry and baking spice with ample palate weight and supple tannins that glide along a long, savory finish. The wine displays not only finesse, but a density that is uncommon for the 2017 vintage.
