Fritz 2010 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Fritz / Russian River Valley

The texture is a bit rough for a Pinot Noir, lacking the silkiness you expect. Instead, you get the briary, brambly mouthfeel of a Zinfandel. But the wine is very flavorful in cherries and red currants. Give it a decant and drink up with grilled beef or lamb.
