Freeman 2010 Keefer Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Keefer Ranch
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Freeman / Russian River Valley

Delicious and spicy, this has notes of cherry pie filling, cola, dried forest herb and leaf, with a touch of sweet, smoky, vanilla-tinged oak. It’s a bit on the brawny side, but then, these Keefer Ranch Pinots always start out that way. Don’t drink it now because it’s just too hefty; give it six years in a proper cellar.
