2018 Emeritus Russian River Valley Estate Pinot Noir, Sonoma

This wine comes from two estate vineyards in Sebastopol. Pinot Hill is a cooler, steeper site producing high-acid, complex and delicate wines. Hallberg Ranch brings more textural roundness and alluring red fruit flavours to the wine. This wine is intensely aromatic with enticing high-toned red cherry, raspberry and cranberry notes, all underscored by hints of sweet cinnamon. It is beautifully focused and sophisticated, with a laser-like mouthfeel that arcs over the palate with a fresh, spicy and persistent finish.
